GEDSER - 25th August

Hot and sunny again with a light SE cooling breeze; the settled weather did nothing really for the numbers of birds in the nets with 45 new birds caught through the morning – all single figures with 9 Blackcaps and 8 Lesser Whitethroats the most numerous species.   12 Crossbills flew through early on and at least three Sparrowhawks were around but there was little evidence of anything really moving right through the day; when are we going get a taste of the hundreds of raptors which moved through Falsterbo yesterday?

                A walk up the coast in the afternoon was also quiet with 9 Common Sandpipers and 2 Whimbrel on the beach and one small flock of Wigeon, Teal and Shoveler offshore.
