More signs of autumn passage as the day lengths get shorter. On the move southbound 18 Siskin, 13 Black-headed Gull, 9 Cormorant, 7 Golden Plover, 6 Swallow, 4 Common Tern, 3 Curlew, 3 Whimbrel, 2 Kitts, Dunlin, Swift & Yellow Wag. Six adult Sanderling on the beach were showing signs of moulting as they make there way to West Africa from the far north. Juv Nightingale is still with us. Difficult to know where the dispersing juv Grey Wagtails are coming from at this time of the year as the Suffolk breeding population is quite small & it is not presumed that they are coming from to far away this early in the autumn. Also of interest was a partially leucistic Black-headed Gull around the car park.
8 birds ringed: 3 house sparrow, 2 grey wagtail, 1 linnet, 1 greenfinch, 1 dunnock
