With a shift in wind direction and strength, some of yesterdays great birds moved on, though others have trickled down, presumably from further up the coast. Another 9 pied flycatchers were in the observatory compound and a lucky few observers also found a wryneck out on the reserve. Wheatear numbers have increased to 6, hopefully not the peak we see this autumn. A male Crossbill was seen by the boardwalk in the afternoon.


Gold Spot has only been recorded here on 6 previous occasions.

Birds Ringed: Chiffchaff 1, Linnet 1, Pied Flycatcher 7, Willow Warbler 2.
