For those who didn't know it birding Landguard involves a degree of perserverance & hard work that very occasionally produces the unexpected. The first site record of Aquatic Warbler showed well this afternoon, with a bit of patience, on the Butts. Otherwise a fairly predictably quiet late August morning with southbound 72 Swallow, 2 Sand Martin, Curlew, Marsh Harrier & Oyk. On site 4 Lesser Whitethroat, 3 Wheatear, 2 Redstart, 2 Whitethroat, 2 Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff plus the first 3 Chaffinch of the autumn.
Latticed Heath appears in variable numbers and has recently been added to the Red List as "Near threatened".
Ringing: 2 Whitethroat, 1 Lesser Whitethroat.
