A very pleasant day with
plenty of sunshine and a light westerly breeze; Holland first thing was, for a
change quite productive with a new Barred Warbler the pick along with the
first Blackcap of the autumn, a Lesser Whitethroat, a Willow Warbler and a Reed
Bunting while the Black Redstart was again round the buildings. I then walked round the Brides census route
where the highlight was re-finding the adult Buff-breasted Sandpiper on the loch
(it was originally seen on 28th August!); other birds included a
Garden Warbler, 2 Willow Warblers, 4 Sedge Warblers, 3 Kestrels, a Black-tailed
Godwit, 2 Red-throated Divers and 2 Ravens which went high south. Also of note was a little arrival of Red
Admirals, Painted Ladies and Silver Y’s.
A second new Barred Warbler was caught at Holland in
the evening.
