Friday 1st November 2024


A slightly quieter morning today, with mostly the usual suspects present or moving past. A brambling joined 42 goldfinch, 13 chaffinch and a single greenfinch heading south, a goosander flew up river and a black-throated diver flew east over the observatory out to sea. 5 turnstone on the jetty were joined by 2 purple sandpipers and a rock pipit. A Dartford warbler was out on the reserve along with a black redstart, both species we haven't seen here for some weeks. 


First noted in 2019, Oak Rustic has now colonised the Holm oaks. 

Birds Ringed: Blackbird 4, Chaffinch 1, Goldcrest 1, House Sparrow 1, Redwing 1.
