Distinctly cooler start to the day. Nice to have a bit of vis mig this am including 91 Swallows, 72 Mipits, 6 Sand Martins, 3 Grey Herons, 3 Goldfinch, Yellow Wag, Grey Wag & Siskin going south. Offshore a handful, literally, of ducks & waders on the move. On the reserve 8 Wheatears & in the bushes at least 8 Willow Warblers, 2 Blackcaps, 2 Whitethroats & a Lesser. No sign of the Spanish Sparrow yesterday evening coming into roost but that does not mean it has gone just because no one picked it up coming in - it has failed to put in an appearance before.
