A family party of 7 Egyptian Geese out then north is our largest ever group of this very scarce visitor to Landguard. Late morning at least 18 Buzzard soaring drifting high south is notable. A handful of grounded migrants included 6 Whitethroat, 6 Willow Warbler, 4 Wheatear, 3 Blackcap, 3 Mipit, 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Lesser 'throat, 2 Spot Fly, Chaffinch plus a wandering Great Spotted Woodpecker. Also southbound 10 Sandwich Tern, 7 Grey Wag, 6 Swallow, 5 Mipit, 3 Common Tern, Common Gull, Kestrel, Marsh Harrier & Yellow Wag. A Black Red could be a locally bred bird or not as they have been a tad elusive recently.
201 Setaceous Hebrew Character in the traps this morning is very high numbers here.
Ringing: 5 Grey Wag, 3 Willow Warbler, 2 Blackcap, 2 Mipit, 1 Wren.
