Fortunately a few birds were around for one of our annual migration mornings. A few Blackcaps, Chaffinches, Meadow Pipit and  Pied Wagtail were added to the ringing totals. No great numbers of birds passing through with 260 Goldfinch being the highest count amongst a few Chaffinches, Redpoll, Siskin and Greenys. At least 14 Magpies were on site along with 3 Jackdaws and 5 Carrion Crows. The first Long-tailed Tits of the autumn dropped in bringing with them a late Reed Warbler and a few Chiffchaffs. A couple more Jays were seen heading south over the docks along with two Common Buzzards
