2nd October 2011

In apparently ideal conditions for something to turn up in early October (mist, drizzle, south east wind) it is worth recording that the island was almost birdless today; no warblers of any description, no Wheatears, no Swallows, no wagtails, no thrushes and no finches other than the flock of Linnets, just a few Meadow Pipits passing through to represent the migrants. Six Pintail flew south off the west side and a excellent count of 96 Bar-tailed Godwits was made, otherwise the morning was mainly passed talking about which birds we hope for this October. Ringed :- Nil
