More of an autumn hint in the movement today, with a couple of wader species heading south, 3 golden plover and 12 curlew, much like yesterdays black-tailed godwits, their breeding season is done for the year, though whether they're failed breeders or early returning successful breeders will remain unknown. Another sign of autumn was the return of the local peregrines, with a female carrying a woodpigeon being harassed by gulls over the reserve, before being joined by a male on the dock cranes.
The Lackey is a declining species classed as 'vulnerable' on the Red List but is doing well here in recent years.
Birds Ringed: Blue Tit 2, Goldfinch 1, House Sparrow 2, Linnet 5.
