A wet and windy day meant that most observations were made from inside the observatory!
Our first good autumn movement of Brent geese, with 1874 heading south throughout the day. A few wigeon also headed south along with 2 pintail, 15 dunlin and 4 turnstone. 7 meadow pipits trickled south throughout the day as well. On the reserve however, it was much quieter, with a noisy Cetti's warbler being the only warbler species recorded. A single gannet north was a pretty pathetic showing, after the triple figure record a few days ago.
Clancy's Rustic has colonised over the past 20 years. It has two emergences a year.
