A fine morning today, with a lot of birds seemingly having departed in the clear skies of last night. 6 birds were ringed; 2 Blackbird, 1 Whitethroat, 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Garden Warbler, and a Reed Warbler. Still a few hirundines moving South with 78 Swallow and 2 Sand Martin, with a Little Tern, 7 Goldfinch, 2 Jackdaw, 3 Yellow Wagtail, a Carrion Crow and a Fulmar. 7 Swallow went against the grain and made Northwards, whilst 4 Common Tern went up river. Both Kestrel and Hobby were seen, with other bits and bobs including 19 Wheatear, 2 Spotted Flycatcher, 3 Med Gulls, 2 Chiffchaff and a Sedge Warbler. Two of the local pairs of Meadow Pipits were also seen feeding young.
