29th August


A pleasant day with bits of sun here and there and lightish SW winds; the morning however was almost completely dead with nothing at all to mention!   The coast was also very quiet in the afternoon with wader numbers again reduced, I did however see a very large Falcon at long range sat out on Steinodden which looked quite good for a Gyr but it flew when I was still miles away and just headed high, straight out to sea and away.

                There were quite a few birds scattered around inland which included a Wryneck, a Cuckoo, 5 Red-backed Shrikes, the first Treecreeper in the area this autumn, 5 Spotted Flycatchers, 2 Pied Flycatchers, a Redstart, a Brambling, a Garden Warbler, a Merlin, the Goshawk again, 12+ Tree Pipits and a few Whinchats and Wheatears dotted about.
