A north wind and persistent drizzle meant observations were limited. Wheatear numbers have gone right down, with only 3 present after yesterdays 16, and warblers were nigh on secretive, with only a chiffchaff and 2 blackcaps giving themselves up throughout the morning. Wagtail numbers stayed high however, with all 3 species in double figures, 12 grey wagtail heading south the best day of the season for them. Yellow wagtails were up by 2 to 18, amongst 15 pied.
Meadow pipits are slowly increasing, with 50 on site today.
First noted in 2000 L-Album Wainscot is now common with us.
Birds Ringed: Grey Wagtail 6, Magpie 1, Meadow Pipit 3, Robin 1.
