Hethersett, Norfolk (Redwings - visual migration)

An early start for me this morning in Hethersett.  Mist and fog was slow to clear, probably not lifting until about 1000hrs.
This morning I witnessed the first significant movement of Thrushes this autumn with many flocks of Redwings, including some large flocks approaching from the north-east, with most ongoing with their passage, and some dropping into berry-laden trees.
I am always excited to find something unusual or rare on the patch such as my recent Yellow-browed Warbler, however, watching commoner species such as todays Redwing passage is equally as thrilling.
