A still start to the day but it didn't take long for the wind to pick up.
Vis-mig was again good this morning. The Crossbill are still making their way south with a flock of 16 'plinking' through this morning. Also of note were 4 Little Egrets, 2 Siskin, 9 Swifts, 12 Sand Martins and 5 House Martins.
In the bushes a Great Spotted Woodpecker put in an appearance and found its way into one of the nets. It turned out to be a re-trap caught 10 days previously. It is the first time we've re caught one after it had been caught here previously. The Black Redstart had moved from its original location and was hanging around the Tank Blocks and the first 3 Meadow Pipits of the 'autumn' had appeared on the green.
The Sea was also good with 94 Curlew, 22 Bar-tailed Godwit, 11 Redshank, 6 Oystercatcher, 15 Gadwall and a Little and Common Tern heading south.
Ringing: 3 Blackcap, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Wren
