A strong ENE breeze should not be as warm as this coming from this direction in September. Southbound 140 Teal, 5 Wigeon, Common Scoter & Oyk with northbound 3 Sandwich Tern, 2 Barnacle Geese, 2 Common Gull, 2 Gannet & Curlew. Grounded migrants were limited to single Garden Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat & Wheatear. Another dispersing young Great Spot visited continuing there good run of records.

Moth trapping not helped by the wind so today's featured beastie is Agriphila geniculea which is the commonest micro in the traps at this time of the year.

Ringing: 1 Garden Warbler, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker.
