| Possibly the first goosander pic for the blog ever. |
A brisk south easterly saw a few more song thrushes, robins and blackbirds in, a fresh firecrest and a handful of new goldcrests. A goosander flew out to sea over the observatory and a black redstart was found at the cottage before reappearing in the observatory compound.
Fairly low numbers of species migrating, with 14 woodpigeon, 4 chaffinch, 14 meadow pipit and 11 skylark and a single wigeon all heading south. A young peregrine was hunting around the observatory in the late afternoon. No sign of yesterdays Dartford warbler, though given the species elusiveness, this in no way means its not still here.
A single lesser redpoll visited the Obs, sadly a Mealy couldn't be made of it.
Birds Ringed: Blackbird 3, Dunnock 2, Firecrest 1, Goldcrest 4, Lesser Redpoll 1, Robin 5, Song Thrush 3.
