Thursday Sept 19

A sunny morning with a very light northerly.

A curtailed visit for personal reasons, but the birdlife seems to be enjoying the balmy early autumn temperatures.

Highlights were a Hobby, a Sedge Warbler, a Whitethroat, and three Stonechats.

Stonechat

At least three Shovelers remain at the flash pools, and most of the twenty or so Lapwings were lying on the sun-baked mud.

A single Siskin flew over unseen, but calling, as a reminder that winter is coming!
