A good willow warbler day today with at least 20 around the site during the day. The first autumn record of sedge warbler was ringed today, along with another young lesser whitethroat. As probably mentioned before, lesser whitethroats seem to have had a good season. A lot of gulls and starlings were making the most of ants on the reserve, both on the ground and in the air.
Dark Crimson Underwing is a nationally rare species that has occurred here in 6 of the last 12 years.
Birds Ringed: Goldfinch 2, House Sparrow 1, Lesser Whitethroat 1, Linnet 1, Sedge Warbler 1, Starling 4, Willow Warbler 7.
