The Grasshopper Warbler (see 27th) seems to be still on the around as it was glimpsed flying across the paddock. A single Willow Warbler was also noted.
Two further Common Sandpipers for this year were logged when they were seen flying from Red Rocks direction across the east hoyle bank and towards the island. Eighteen Whimbrel are about the rocks and the first Sanderling of the autumn was noted.
