The marvellous SE winds continued to blow across the
island and it stayed dry again throughout the day; the Obs census route was
highlighted by a Marsh Warbler on the inside of the dyke just down
from the Obs, near the pier and best of all an Olive-backed Pipit which turned up around the
traps in the afternoon and was eventually pushed into T2 to be ringed by me – a
great ringing tick!
Other
birds (including a few nets open at Holland in the evening) comprised the first
Woodcock of the autumn flushed from the back of Nouster, a Yellow-browed Warbler still in Holland, 2 Blackcaps, a Lesser Whitethroat, a Garden
Warbler, 2 Goldcrests, 6 Song Thrushes, 2 Redwings, 2 Chaffinches and a
Brambling.
