A good arrival of birders this morning, a sure sign of autumn progressing with seven observers on site, possibly a peak count! Most of yesterday's Whinchats had moved on with only four seen today along with a single Wheatear. 19 Willow Warblers were seen, mostly fresh bright first calendar year birds, which are always nice to see. In contrast many of the 14 Blackcaps on show were very worn adults. Other Warblers included 25 Whitethroats, 19 Lesser Whitethroats and single Chiffchaff, Reed, Sedge and Garden Warblers. Overhead there were five Yellow Wagtails, 43 Swallows and 12 Turnstone, which flew through the Paddock shortly after dawn
