redwings and swallows

Saw my first redwing of the autumn at about 7:30 and by 8:30 at least another 300 had flown over at Llanmill nr Narberth. Also a brambling, 7 fieldfares, 11 golden plover and 16 greenfinches. Nearby there were 70 juv swallows feeding over a field and at 2:30 there were still around thirty at the same spot. They must have been waiting for clearer weather before moving on.
