LANDGUARD - 7th September

 Very calm with warm, bright sunshine throughout becoming virtually hot by late morning; it remained very hazy though bordering on misty first thing, meaning there was no chance of any meaningful seawatching and all the interest had to be gleaned from the land.   There was a nice selection of migrants which included a good total of 14 Grey Wagtails (seven of which were lured into the Heligoland trap), 2 Lesser Whitethroats, 2 Whitethroats, a Tree Pipit, a Reed Warbler, 2 Blackcaps, 6 Yellow Wagtails, 5 Willow Warblers and 2 Redstarts.   

Also of note were 32 House Martins and 4 Swallows south and a little but notable influx of presumably local 13+ Robins.
