Steady movement today, with more hirundines and pipits passing through in small numbers. A female redstart was still present in the bushes in front of the obs, though harassed constantly by robins, which have increased steadily here also. Blackcap numbers were low today as were willow warblers, though the latter are slowly giving way to chiffchaffs as the season progresses. Two grey wagtails were ringed today which is the 'highest' day capture total all year. 

Feathered Brindle

The nationally scarce Feathered Brindle can be fairly common here although this year they've been a couple of weeks late in being recorded. 

Birds Ringed: Blackcap 3, Chiffchaff 6, Dunnock 1, Grey Wagtail 2, Lesser Whitethroat 1, Meadow Pipit 5, Willow Warbler 1, Woodpigeon 2.
