One of two Yellow Wagtail today.
Little sign of Autumn migration easing up. A Whinchat at first light was a fine addition to the day list. Dwindling numbers of Willow Warbler have suddenly received reinforcements and another couple Pied Flycatcher at least flitting around the obs. Also of note 1 Blackcap, 3 Black Redstart, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Green Woodpecker, 2 Sand Martin, 25 Swallow, 3 Wheatear and 2 Yellow Wagtail.
Small Emerald is by no means a rare species but it's only been noted here in five previous years.
Ringing: 1 Green Woodpecker, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Pied Flycatcher, 2 Sedge Warbler, 1 Whinchat, 3 Whitethroat, 14 Willow Warbler.
