Today felt like autumn with a steady passage of Meadow Pipits,( 115 ) Swallows (900) and Sand Martins (50) all going North along the coast into a Northwesterly wind. Also Four Tree Pipits all heading inland and four Yellow Wagtails. On the ground there were six Whinchats (Freedown & Hope Point) and single Spotted Flycatcher, Wheatear and Redstart. A Short-eared Owl was flushed from the clifftop. While the Gun Emplacement came up trumps with two Garden Warblers and a brief Wood Warbler. Other Warblers included 15 Common Whitethroats and 15 Lessers, seven Blackcaps, eight Chiffchaffs and two Willow Warbler.
