Back to strong south westerlies today. The meadow pipits and grey wagtails are starting to descend from their peak movement here, with only 148 meadow pipits moving south, and one grey wagtail noted at all. Blackcaps are still coming through in reasonable numbers, though chiffchaffs seem a little low. The red-backed shrike and Cetti's warbler are still on site. 

195 wigeon flew south along with 19 teal, a single shoveler and 4 pintail, the highlight of the seawatching today.


Back to basics with 'moth of the day'. Common plume is only occasionally noted here despite living on bind weed.

Birds Ringed: Blackcap 5, Blue Tit 2, Chiffchaff 1, Goldfinch 2, House Sparrow 1, Whitethroat 1, Wren 1.
