A handful of new migrants on site today including Reed Warbler, Spot Fly, Lesser 'throat & 3 Jays. 282 Swifts went south mostly before 6am as did 32 Wood Pigeons & 6 Goldfinch. Another new adult Blackbird turned up today which is the third this month. We shouldn't be getting new adults at this time of the year which are presumably failed breeders wandering. Worryingly we still haven't had a baby Blackie down here so far this year as birds are struggling to rear any young. Finally some Emperor dragonfly exuviae were at the Butts pond.
