A clear night and stronger wind than expected turned promising conditions into a bit of a challenge. A new Cetti's warbler ringed was the highlight, furthering hopes they may breed on site this year. It joins two others that were singing on the reserve, the highest total for the species so far this year, though we did equal that on many days last autumn. One black redstart remained out on the reserve, along with one wheatear. A swallow flew north during the morning.
Twin-spotted Quaker turns up here roughly one year in three.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 2, Cetti's Warbler 1, Chiffchaff 1.
