11th September

A return to form with a number of new grounded migrants including 81 Chiffchaffs, two Willow Warbler, 27 Blackcaps, six Lesser Whitethroats but only two Common Whitethroats. Also a single Reed Warbler at Hope Bay Studios. 

Also seen two Whinchats, two Wheatears, two Redstarts, two Stonechats and a single Spotted Flycatcher.

Overhead there were single a Tree pipit, Yellow and Grey Wagtails and around 45 Meadow Pipits.  A few House Martins were present at Hope Point but for the second day running no Swallows were seen. 

Siskins were again on the move, all going North with a minimum of 130 but almost certainly significantly more.

A Short-eared Owl was flushed from Hope Point.

53 species recorded.
