Another warm and bright morning, but with some highlights. A marsh harrier flew south, probably a dispersing juvenile, and another great spotted woodpecker and coal tit were in the observatory compound. A common sandpiper managed to find its way into the Heligoland trap and became only the 4th of the species to be ringed here and the first in 14 years. Yet more dunnock and wren juveniles are emerging or making their way down to us, and a young linnet was a welcome sight for a species that doesn't seem to have done well this year.  

 

Rosy Footman is a widespread species that only rarely visits us. 

Birds Ringed: Common Sandpiper 1, Dunnock 1, Great Tit 1, Linnet 1, Wren 1.
