Not seen any myself, but 400+ Redwing moving at one site in Cornwall, with numbers of Redwing and Fieldfare elsewhere in the county.

Two days ago it was still summer!

Certainly a 100+ for me on Thursday...going NNW, and regular groups of 2's, 8's and 30's yesterday, heading to the same compass point.

There was a morning count of 33000 at just one Bedfordshire site the other day, with many elsewhere. Today in Sussex so far there have been counts of 60 Ring Ouzel at one site, and 205 at another. Certainly been plenty of arrivals
