A typical October day with no great numbers but a good variety of species on the move. Overhead were seen or heard Siskin, Redpoll, Goldfinch, Skylark (right), Starling and Pied Wagtail; grounded were a single Song Thrush, a Chaffinch, a Reed Bunting, a Blackcap, a few Goldcrests and Robins, and a female Stonechat (below) that was found sitting on top of the Heli trap (not yesterdays bird which was a male). 
Seen around the islands were regulars like Great Crested Grebe (6), Knot (120), Bar-tailed Godwits (55), Grey Plover (2) (below) and male and female Peregrine.
The 9 Pale-bellied Brent had not increased in number,
