Tuesday 16th October 2012

Hard work in the strong winds today. Very few birds on the move, the highlight being a large falcon species having a good go at a Brent Goose in the estuary. Nothing notable heading by apart from a Shag and a couple of Kittiwake close in. The long staying Firecrest still remained along with a single new Goldcrest. New in the moth Traps were Autumnal Rustic and Yellow-line Quaker. Late news of a Swallow x House Martin Hybrid briefly on site last Tuesday 9th October.
