Today was sunny and warm with a very light south-easterly. An ideal day for photographing birds at Morton Bagot, but any hopes of dropping on a rarity soon evaporated.

| Reed Bunting (probably a juvenile male) |

| Juvenile Bullfinch |

| Kestrel (probably juvenile) |
There are still plenty of Whitethroats around, and at least one Lesser Whitethroat, but getting views of such warblers was very challenging despite the ideal conditions.
The contractors are continuing to churn up the pool field, so I gave that a miss. The nearest thing to a highlight was the appearance of a Snipe by the nearest flash along with an increase of Teal to at least 19 individuals. A couple of Green Sandpipers and 52 Lapwings remain, as does a decent covering of water.
The autumn alldayer is due to take place in a couple of weeks, so I'll have to improve dramatically on the 42 species I logged today.
