A brisk morning, with some movement, though not a huge amount. 2 stonechat remain out on the reserve as does a turnstone on the jetty. A peregrine was being harassed by crows as the sun rose and a sparrowhawk was out terrorising the local passerines along with two kestrels. Out to sea a sandwich turn was our equal latest autumn record, though an Arctic tern was more expected, with several previous records into early November. A single siskin moved west inland, whilst 36 goldfinch, 7 chaffinch, 4 meadow pipit and 2 skylark moved south. Back out to sea a couple of red-throated diver moved south, along with 3 dunlin, 19 wigeon, 32 Brent goose and a great crested grebe.
The Satellite is an autumnal moth that hibernates in the winter, reappearing in the spring.
