Saturday 30th September 2023

A calmer day made for a good spot of migration. Our first redpolls of the year flew over in the morning, along with another great spotted woodpecker. A garden warbler was found in the afternoon. The juvenile red-backed shrike decided to move on overnight, given the clear skies. 

Meadow pipits were trickling through along with 38 siskin heading south. A few grey wagtails passed over, suggesting their movement is not quite done. 



 Lunar Underwing is one of the commonest species at this time of the year.

Birds Ringed: Blackcap 10, Blue Tit 2, Chiffchaff 14, Dunnock 4, Grey Wagtail 1, Lesser Redpoll 2, Meadow Pipit 9, Robin 1, Woodpigeon 2.
