If we haven't got enough cranes here they are delivering some more ! Bird wise a bit "same old same old" with the only visible movements 51 Swallow & 7 Siskin southbound. Offshore movements very poor despite several hours of observation in the drizzle during the morning. On site worth a mention are 5 Wheatear, 2 Redstart & a Pied Fly plus a very very small number of expected mid-September fare.


Moth traps a lot quieter due to the deteriorating weather conditions - it feel's more like the end of October rather than mid-September. Feathered Brindle is a nationally scarce species with a coastal distribution that occurs here in good numbers some autumns.

2 birds ringed: 1 redstart, 1 chiffchaff.
