The settled weather
continued but the wind (not that there was much) had switched round to the NW
which did wonders for the numbers of birds caught through the morning as 121
new birds were trapped; the total was highlighted by the second Grasshopper Warbler of the autumn and
another juvenile Red-backed Shrike
while the bulk of the birds were made up of 29 Lesser Whitethroats, 17
Whitethroats, 20 Blackcaps and 15 Willow Warblers. There were a few Sparrowhawks whizzing
around with several of them migrating off to the south while a flock of 9
Crossbills were the only other birds of note seen through the morning.
A Woodlark
in one of the newly created stubble fields to the north of Birkemose was the
only bird of note during a drive round in the afternoon before an Osprey circled low over the point in
the evening, thought about heading out to sea but decided it was too late in
the day and drifted back inland.
