Autumn equinox brought a diverse mix in low numbers including the first 4 Chaffinch & 4 Siskin of the season plus a juvenile Female Peregrine. Vis mig continues to be poor with southbound 25 Mipit & 22 Swallow. Offshore movements negligible in the murky conditions. Migrants included 25 Mipit, 8 Chiffchaff, 3 Grey Wag, 2 Lesser 'throat, 2 Song Thrush, 2 Wheatear, Garden Warbler, Hobby, Lapwing, Spot Fly, Whitethroat, Willow Warbler & Yellow Wag. Late morning the Barred Warbler from last Tuesday reappeared, having put on 4 grams, showing that it is more adept on feeding on the Blackberry crop than the observers here have been on seeing it over the last six days.
Endothenia oblongana has only been noted on a handful of previous occasions.
Ringing: 3 Chiffchaff, 2 Grey Wagtail, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Dunnock, 1 Garden Warbler, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Robin, 1 Siskin, 1 Song Thrush, 1 Spotted Flycatcher, 1 Willow Warbler.
