The first Brambling of the Autumn
Saturday 22nd September 2012
With a few Eastern migrants dotted around the coast further North hope were high for a few more interesting visitors. A slowish morning produced a handful of new Robins, Goldfinches and tits, with the star of the show being a Brambling trapped towards lunchtime. 10 Med Gulls were hanging around most of the day, feasting on chips and discarded bait from fishermen. Passing by a Red Throated Diver, Snipe, a sprinkling of Swallows, 4 Grey Heron, Gadwall, Kittiwake, 1 Arctic Tern and a few each of Little, Sandwich and Common Tern.
