A warm pleasant sunny day, with the migrants now replaced by a dispersal of juveniles trying to make their own way in the world.

A Chiffchaff was the only new in migrant, whether its a failed breeder or a bird still moving north is anyone's guess. Dispersing juvs included Blue Tits, Goldfinches, Robins and a Coal tit. Vis-mig was pretty good this morning with a Grey Wagtail and 6 Siskins heading south, 12 Swifts were also feeding round the Observatory first thing.

On the sea, 3 Avocet and 3 Curlew headed south this morning and 5 Little and 6 Sandwich Terns were noted.



Formerly an immigrant Cypress Carpet has probably colonised the ornamental conifers around Felixstowe in recent years.


Ringing: 3 Blue Tit, 3 Linnet, 2 Dunnock, 2 Goldfinch, 2 House Sparrow, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Robin, 1 Starling
