Windy, gusting Force 7 makes the birding difficult. 7 Willow Warbler is the highest count of the autumn so far which is worrying as numbers should be far higher at this stage of the autumn. Other movers were southbound 134 Swift, 6 Redshank, 4 Common Tern, 4 Oyk, 3 Cormorant, 3 Great Black-backed Gull, Knot, Med Gull & Whimbrel with northbound 4 Cormorant, 3 Common Tern & Gannet.

Moth numbers very poor. Small Fan-footed Wave is apparently a common species but is very infrequent in occurrence here.

Ringing: 3 Willow Warbler, 2 Robin, 2 Wood Pigeon, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Linnet.
