The wind had died away dramatically but switched round to
the south leaving a pleasant day; birds around the Hooking census route
included a juvenile Marsh Harrier
(been present for a few days but this is the first time I’ve caught up with
it), a Sparrowhawk, 9 Black-tailed Godwits, 19 Bar-tailed Godwits, a Ruff, 81
Sanderling, 69 Ringed Plover, 8 Wigeon and good numbers of Meadow Pipits and alba Wagtails. There was a Garden Warbler at the Obs and
the first Lesser Whitethroat of the
autumn at Holland on my way through.
After
a heavy rainstorm mid-afternoon I walked around the Brides area where migrants
comprised a Reed Warbler and a Whinchat around Southness and a flock of 16
Wigeon came in.
