8th September


Another beautiful, warm, calm, sunny day but with the weather not changing much there was not much change in the birds either; a flock of 18 Ravens flew south and there was a Red-throated Pipit around the lighthouse while single Little Stint and Whimbrel overhead were the wader highlights and a few more Sparrowhawks were on the move.

                The area was very quiet in the afternoon with a few flocks of Siskins going over the only real thing of note although the PALLID HARRIER, 2 Hen Harriers, a Marsh Harrier, a big female Goshawk and quite a few Sparrowhawks and Kestrels were out over the fields at various times through the afternoon / evening.
 


There was no sign of the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper on the little roadside pool today but this Spotted Redshank was still there with a few Ruff

Marsh Harrier
