Sunday 3rd September 2017

Autumn seems to be well on its way as the Wheatear numbers are picking up and the first Goldcrests and Robins are starting to appear. Whilst over the sea, 34 Common, 10 Sandwich and 1 Little Tern were all feeding just offshore and 121 Teal south and 12 Gannet north.
Moth numbers are starting to drop off as expected at this time, but a few new species for the year are beginning to appear, like this Knot Grass, a species that is common but we do not get it very often here.

Ringed 5 birds: 2 Wheatear, 1 Blackcap, 1 Robin and 1 Goldcrest.
