A nice calm day, though with some unpredicted rain. Migration was unremarkable, with 76 siskin, 186 goldfinch and 12 meadow pipit moving south, along with a single mistle thrush, 2 fieldfare and a redwing. A house martin south was notable as its getting late for them, a single brambling was heard and the lesser whitethroat of undetermined subspecies was still present out on the reserve. 

Birds Ringed: Blackbird 2, Blackcap 2, Blue Tit 1, Cetti's Warbler 2, Chiffchaff 1, Dunnock 1, Goldcrest 1, Grey Wagtail 1, House Sparrow 1, Lesser Redpoll 2, Redwing 1.
