Distinct lack of Blackbirds with only c40 around today after yesterdays flourish. A few Mipits, Chaffs, Siskins, Wood Pigs and Stock doves accompanied 2 lonely Swallows heading south. A water Rail was screeching in the bushes for an hour or so this morning but failed to show itself. Also seen were 2 Mistle Thrush, a Snow Bunting, the adult female Peregrine, a couple of Red-throated Divers, a lingering male Firecrest and a couple of Rock Pipits.
Ringing: 9 Blackbird, 6 Lesser Redpoll, Goldcrest, Chaffinch and Goldfinch = 18.
