14 new birds ringed today including 3 more Grey Wagtails, 5 Meadow Pipits, 2 Blackcap, Sedge Warbler, Chiffchaff, Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat. Autumn seems to definitely be on the move as both Redpoll and Siskin passed over along with a few Yellow Wags, 80 odd Swallows, 90 Mipits and a Lonely Brent Goose. A pair of Peregrines were seen on the dock cranes, including a large female bird sporting an orange darvic, indicating this is a British ringed bird. The birds treated observers to a brief courtship display before disappearing over the docks.
