Comma


Meadow pipits are really getting into their migration stride with 484 passing through this morning, easily the largest movement so far. Wagtails have gone down to more modest numbers with 7 pied and 5 yellow on the reserve and 10 grey passing south. Wheatear numbers also remain low at 4 after their higha few days back. Most notable passerine migrant was a whinchat on the Butts today, through blackcap numbers are steadily building and a few willow warblers reminded us that they're still trickling through.



Black Rustic is another autumnal regular.

Birds Ringed: Blackcap 3, Chiffchaff 2, Great Tit 1, Grey Wagtail 2, Meadow Pipit 6, Willow Warbler 1.
