A belt of rain and strong westerly wind this morning. First 2 woodlarks of the season were a nice surprise as was the first brambling of the autumn. A yellow wagtail and 3 wheatear were the best of the rest.
Low numbers of meadow pipits trickling through, a single grey wagtail and the red-backed shrike continues. Warblers were barely present today, the highest number being of 3 blackcaps.
First noted in 2019, Oak Rustic has undoubtedly colonised the holm oaks. Previous records are at the end of October and November so this individual is a month early on parade.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 3, Chiffchaff 1, Meadow Pipit 8.
