A nice reminder that autumn HAS arrived today. Plenty of birds moving through and over, including redshank, turnstone, golden and grey plover. Non waders were less in abundance but a wryneck and a pied flycatcher were ringed amongst other commoner migrants mid morning. First wryneck record for the site this year, hopefully a herald of a good season? It was a young bird and may stay around for a while, though whether anyone can find it again is another question.

We haven't seen an Antler Moth here for four years.

Birds Ringed: House Sparrow 1, Pied Flycatcher 1, Reed Warbler 1, Robin 1, Whitethroat 1, Willow Warbler 2, Wryneck 1
