26th September

 A light SE wind gave a little hope that things may improve this morning but the optimism was short lived. 

Pick of the day was a good steady movement of swallows with 1,400 counted along with a few Sand Martins and House Martins. 

Chiffchaffs got to 98 and no doubt with a little more effort it could have been over 100 but counting Chiffchaffs is getting a little boring! Only a few Blackcaps remain and one Whitethroat was recorded. That was it for warblers. Five Goldcrests and a single Firecrest plus two Wheatears were the only other birds of note. Best bird of the day a single Greenfinch
