A breezy morning with a bit of a chill in the air, accompanied by a nice fall of Willow Warblers and a scattering of other warblers.
At least 30 Willow Warblers, 8 Whitethroats, 5 Lesser Whitethroats, 3 Sedge Warblers, 2 Blackcaps, a Chiffchaff, Spotted Flycatcher and a Redstart moved through the bushes this morning.
On the reserve there were at least 7 newly arrived Wheatears which were reasonably mobile feeding over the southern end of the Reserve. The Black Redstart was again in his favoured spot.
There was also a bit of vis-mig with 13 Swallows, 10 Sand Martins, 2 Swifts, 2 Tree Pipits, 8 Yellow Wagtails and a Grey Wagtail passing over south bound.
There was also a bit of a wader passage on the sea with 9 Oystercatcher, 6 Curlew, 4 Knot and a Whimbrel heading south along with 5 Mute Swans and a Sandwich and Common Tern headed north.
Another addition to the site list this morning, the Pale Egger, which has very few 21st century records in Suffolk.
Ringing: 20 Willow Warbler, 3 Sedge Warbler, 3 Wheatear, 2 Blackcap, 2 Whitethroat, 1 Linnet, 1 Redstart
