3rd September

Definitely some new arrivals today with the first Firecrest of the autumn plus three new Goldcrests. Chiffchaffs numbers had increased to 24, while Willow Warblers were down to six. Blackcaps were still the most numerous warbler ( 39), while there were nine Whitethroats and six Lessers. On the chat/flycatcher front there were single Spotted Flycatchers in the Drove Way and at Hope Bay Studios, while there were 4 Wheatears and a Whinchat in the Freedown. A groups of 60 House Martins were feeding along the cliffs along with two late Swifts and seven Med Gulls flew South.
