6th September


Very similar to yesterday with the NW wind a touch lighter (at least in the morning anyway!); the couple of nets I could get open just produced one bird but it was the autumn’s third Barred Warbler.   The sea was quiet but there were a few birds around the lighthouse including the first two Lapland Buntings of the autumn while there were a few Yellow Wagtails and Tree Pipits around with a couple coming in off the sea, a single Grey Wagtail and 30+ Wigeon and 20+ Ruff still on the flooded fields.

                The coast was very exposed and pretty quiet but 3 Pintail in Sevika and a Grey Plover in Verevågen were of note; there seems to be just one of the juvenile Red-backed Shrikes left in the area which was very quiet this afternoon.

                The two Black-tailed Godwits and the Spotted Redshank were the only birds on the now drying Gunnarsmyra mid-afternoon while the PALLID HARRIER was again quartering the fields for parts of the evening along with a different Hen Harrier.
