I spent the morning and early afternoon at Sandwich ringing.It was a day of blustery north winds but luckily some of the nets in the White house and Haven bushes are well sheltered.
Birds ringed - Sparrowhawk 1,House Sparrow 1,Blackbird 1,Goldfinch 1,Robin 2,Lesser Redpoll 11,Greenfinch 5 and Redwing 1.We had one control a Chiffchaff.
Other birds I saw in the area were 2 Jack Snipe,1 Fieldfare (my first this autumn) and a few Swallows,49 Crossbills were also recorded passing through north.

On my way home I had three single Buzzards,one just past Wingham and two along the M20.
