Less blackbirds around today, though most of the usual suspects were still around. 2 purple sandpipers and a rock pipit were still on the jetty, 5 Cetti's warblers were singing around the reserve and hundreds of cormorants moved throughout the morning, with 350 heading south, 127 straight out to sea and a paltry 10 north. 3 Egyptian geese were slightly notable, though they have been much more common a sight this year, as the feral population grows. A single redpoll called over the observatory early morning, and a single great crested grebe flew south.
Birds Ringed: Blackbird 6, Goldcrest 1, Wren 1.
