19th October 2025

 Weather: ESE force 5      rain late morning

Two species dominated this morning, a total of 227 Chaffinches flew south as the front arrived in the area and 2 came down to be ringed.

 

Starlings followed a similar pattern, 205 also flying south.

 

  as were 22 Linnets and 4 Siskin. Five Redwings paid a visit.

 The only other migrant was a single Goldcrest. A glance at the sea in the rain found 4 Gannets, 120 Common Scoter but little else. Apart from the Oystercatchers the most numerous waders were 118 Redshanks. An immature female peregrine that appeared was probably the same one as yesterday. Grey Herons for once outnumbered the Little Egrets by 11 to 6.

Ringed: 2 Chaffinches, 1 Robin.
