Another dose of early October fare today including 100 Goldcrest, 20 Chiffchaff, 15 Blackcap, 8 Swallow, 4 Sand Martin, 3 Grey Wags, 3 Yellow-browed Warbler, 2 Lesser 'throat, 2 Redstart, 2 Yellow Wags, 2 Wheatear, Firecrest, Redwing, Snipe & White Wagtail. 5 new Wrens ringed plus yet more new Blue Tits indicates that they are also on the move but the lack of any new Robins ringed today is surprising considering the ringing totals. Visible migration poor but included 5 Skylark & 3 Siskin south. 9 young Mute Swans came past then up river is a rare mention for this species on the blog here. Offshore movements insignificant.
93 ringed: 52 goldcrest, 12 chiffchaff, 12 blackcap, 5 wren, 4 blue tit, 3 blackbird, 1 dunnock, 1 grey wagtail, 1 redstart, 1 lesser whitethroat, 1 firecrest.
