Lures: (BC-CC-GC-FC), (YB-FC-GC-RE),(LR-MP-BL),

Sightings: Woodpigeons flying south in
three or four substantial flocks in addition to a few flying about. A couple of
Redwing flocks also south-ish, some reacted to the audio, perching in
nearby trees briefly. We have two different Redwing songs playing one is Latvian,
not sure of the origin of other one.
They are very different from one another, also there are several regional Redwing
songs, so it is possible that some flock don’t hear their song/calls. The Gadwall
flew north at the same time as the Mallard flew around, probably both groups
were disturbed from the nearby St Gabriel’s lakes.
