Sticky hot morning pleasingly produced a few movers & shakers with southbound 123 Swallow, 76 Teal, 46 Cormorant, 13 Oyk, 10 Sand Martin, 6 Curlew, 6 Shoveler, 6 Swift, 2 House Martin, Barwit & Kittiwake. A few new arrivals on site included several dispersing juv Robin, 5 Lesser 'throat, 3 Whitethroat, 3 Willow Warbler, 2 Blackcap, Pied Fly & the first Spot Fly of the autumn. A Great Spot paid a visit & a Sanderling was on the beach.

First Blood-vein noted this year with the flight period coming to an end is just another example of a species putting on a poor showing this year.

Ringing: 3 Robin, 1 Great Tit, 1 Pied Flycatcher.
