A wet and windy morning. However before the rain started there was still some decent passage of birds south. A handful of swifts, swallows, whimbrels, tufted duck and a single teal along with a great crested grebe and some sandwich terns passed over the sea. A grey heron also passed south, and not one but 2 sparrowhawks were hunting around the reserve, as we would expect as autumn progresses and more 1st year birds pass through.
Gypsy moth use to be recorded as a migrant species but is now established in small numbers.
Birds Ringed: Robin 1, Willow Warbler 1.
