NEW IN - The morning started well with 5 Ringed Plover dropping in at 7.25 but only stayed the hour and left, at 8.45 a Goosander dropped in which was unusual, its a scarce species up here with normally 4-5 roosting and leaving at dawn so this was a first for me, at 9am a Hobby went thru'. Other moving species, 2 Skylark over, at 9.32am 3 Canada Goose dropped in staying for about an hour and another 6 circled 30 mins later and went down Combs Valley, the first geese for a couple of weeks. 20 Meadow Pipit went over.
Lingering Migrants - Weather was poor so difficult to say, 2 'Acro' Warblers were flitting in the reeds and passerines were keeping to the bushes, 2 Chiffchaff were heard.
Duck numbers remained constant approx 60 Starling left the roost, Gull roost numbers were 200 Black headed Gull, other notable species, 3 Jay, 1 Peregrine, 3 Snipe, 12 Swallow, 16 Linnet. Full list on eBIRD link below:
