Glorious sunny session. Worth a mention in the migrant depatment are 10 Chaffinch, 4 Song Thrush, 3 Stonechat, 2 Chiffchaff, Goldcrest, loitering Firecrest, Redwing + a handful of new Blackies. Vis mig very poor considering the clear conditions with southbound 96 Starling, 9 Goldfinch, 6 Mipit, 6 Woodies & 5 Skylark. Offshore action almost non-existent although a Sandwich Tern is worth a mention as getting late in the year for them. Rock Pipit & Turnstone were on the point with an immature Peregrine putting in an appearance (which it has done on several days recently).

Ypsolopha ustella is a common enough moth in Suffolk but only very rarely pays us a visit.

Ringing: 4 Blackbird, 2 Song Thrush, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Redwing.
