Autumn is really proceeding apace, for some species at least, our first juvenile med gulls were seen off the beach today, so they've fledged some somehwere. Quite a few species heading south, in a strong south westerly that turned fully south by the end of the morning. More little egrets flew south, along with common scoter and gadwall, redshank, bar-tailed godwit and more oystercatchers than we usually see moving.
At the same time, we're still seeing a lot of fledglings, with more lesser whitethroats and dunnocks appearing amongst the almost endless numbers of young linnets.
Shuttle-shaped Dart are undergoing a second emergence. They are one of our commoner species.
Birds Ringed: Blackbird 1, Blue Tit 1, Dunnock 1, Lesser Whitethroat 2, Linnet 2.
