A Willow Warbler is a good sign that autumn passage has got going for passerines with an adult Reed Warbler also, presumably, on it's way out. Dispersing juveniles on site today included a Chiffchaff and both Green & Great-spotted Woodpeckers. 2 Black Reds were both sporting rings which suggests they are the individuals that turned up yesterday & last Wednesday. Not a lot moving offshore with 4 Common Scoter north the highlight. A Pheasant on site is a scarce Landguard visitor but with vast numbers released for shooting just inland of the docks it is surprising that more don't turn up. Finally a temeral Ruddy Darter was the first of the year.
