This Autumn / Winter all I’m getting from #Nocmig is Redwing & Song Thrush. Very little else & extremely quiet compared to previous years. Anyone else struggling this year?

According to the Merlin app, there were some goods birds over the Oakdale garden this morning. Unsurprisingly, I didn’t manage to get on to any of them!!
