An incredibly misty morning didn't do much for visible migration but there were surprising birds around. The fist Jack snipe of the year was recorded from the observatory and we ringed our second redstart of the autumn. Chiffchaffs were in good numbers, with a low estimate of 20 in the immediate surrounds of the obs. 6 blackcaps and 14 chiffchaffs ringed made it almost a regular autumn day by previous years standards.
Lunar Underwing is a common autumnal species living on various grasses.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 6, Blue Tit 1, Chaffinch 1, Chiffchaff 14, Great Tit 3, Meadow Pipit 3, Redstart 1, Song Thrush 2.
