478 birds ringed of 34 species this past month, which is very slightly down on the
September 2018 totals. Goldcrest and Chiffchaff both in larger numbers compared to last year, though Song Thrush are conspicuously down. We would expect to see Song Thrush peak through the Thrush Rush of early October, so the coming weeks will show if they really have had a poor year, or if they are just running late. Star bird of the month was certainly the RB Flycatcher, though Purple Sandpiper and Tree Pipit also make nice additions to the month's list.
