Moderate passage today, finch numbers picked up slightly, with double figures of siskin and redpoll joining the 325 goldfinch passing south. Larks are still passing with 14 sky and 1 woodlark recorded through the morning. Warblers have mostly gone through it seems, with not even a chiffchaff seen today. A few goldcrest are still hanging around the compound, though the male firecrest that had taken up residence behind the kitchen seems to have moved on.

Common Emerald flies from mid June to mid August, so its another example of a species that really should have gone over by now. 

Birds Ringed: Blackbird 2, Goldcrest 2, Grey Wagtail 1, Lesser Redpoll 3, Redwing 1, Wren 1.
