A cold and quiet morning didn't see much moving. Another blackcap and chiffchaff were in the observatory compound along with a few new goldcrest, blackbirds and song thrushes. Out on the jetty 2 purple sandpipers were joined by 4 turnstones and a rock pipit. The local kestrels were joined by a female sparrowhawk and a peregrine. A winter plumaged red-throated diver was on the river.
This immigrant Red-headed Chestnut is the fourth site record of a species that arrives late in the season.
Birds Ringed: Blackbird 1, Blackcap 1, Robin 1, Song Thrush 2.
