A few more robins around today, and Cetti's warblers are in voice around the reserve, with the local breeders being boosted by dispersing youngsters, one of which visited the bird observatory. A little migration went on out to sea, 37 wigeon and 24 teal south, along with 37 brent geese. One pied flycatcher remains in the observatory compound, and meadow pipits are still moving in pitiful numbers.
Tawny Shears has been declining to the point where we only get a handful annually. Todays is towards the end of it's flight period.
Birds Ringed: Cetti's Warbler 1, Chiffchaff 2, Great Tit 1, Meadow Pipit 1, Robin 5.
