A nice, flat calm start to
the day but the now SE wind rapidly picked up to force 7 by the afternoon with
mist and murk slowly increasing as well; opened the nets first thing but there
were no new migrants in the garden with the re-trapped Nightingale again the
highlight. A flock of 6 Wigeon and a
Shoveler came in, 4 Ruff were in the fields and a young male Merlin shot over;
the rest of the Obs census route was unremarkable despite the good feeling,
autumnal conditions with a Red-throated Diver close in off The Lurn and the Hen
Harrier drifting close past the Gretchen hide.
