The first purple sandpiper since spring was found on the jetty, they've been few and far between this year. The juvenile red-backed shrike was still present in the observatory compound, as was a male black redstart. A trickle of migrants still moving through, with low numbers of blackcap and chiffchaff in the observatory hedge, and house martins and swallows passing throughout the morning. 


Deep-Brown Dart is present here in very low numbers at this time of the year. 

Birds Ringed: Blackcap 2, Chiffchaff 4, Red-backed shrike 1.
