26th September

Large falls of Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps had been reported from other Kent sites yesterday and it was clear that Bockhill had shared in this influx with 165 Chiffchaffs and 64 Blackcaps recorded this morning. However conditions were not good, windy and heavy rains so the true numbers were probably double these counts.

Other highlights included single Hobby, Grasshopper Warbler, Spotted Flycatcher and Tree Pipit. Other warblers included 3 Whitethroats and Two Lessers. 

There was a reasonable movement of Meadow Pipits (460) and Swallows (350) in the first hour.
