Overcast skies and a slightly weaker wind made for some interesting bird observations. A garden warbler and a sedge warbler in the obs compound were the first of the autumn, and a wheatear briefly out on the beach was also first of the autumn. Other notable birds were flyover grey and yellow wagtail and meadow pipit.
The first emergence of common blue butterflies this year was very poor with the second emergence barely getting going here.
Buff Footman is a far from annual record for us.
