Again within the sport


After two days of catching up with work I used to be free to do a day within the discipline at present. I teamed up with Marc and we headed to East Head HERE and this afternoon I did the native circuit HERE. Highlights at East Head and Snowhill Marsh included over 100 Brent Geese, 2 Spoonbill, 9 Greenshank, Firecrest, a late Lesser Whitethroat and good numbers of Chiffchaffs and Goldcrest with 32 and 17 respectively. Highlights of the afternoon session included 2 Curlew Sandpiper at Church Norton, 2 Inexperienced Sand on Ferry, 3 Marsh Harrier, 10 Stonechat and 1 Whinchat and the unbelievable sight of 90+ Cattle Egret coming into roost on the opposite facet of the harbour at Owl Copse. 

I received in a backyard watch yesterday morning HERE and on the persevering with later autumn theme I had the primary flock of Lapwings going over and there was a little bit of vis-mig with Siskins, Pied Wagtails, Yellow Wagtails and Mipits.

I received the moth entice out yesterday night time and there wasn’t much- solely 13 species of about 40 people throughout a quite cool night time. 

Returning Brents over East Head
First-winter Spoonbills
Whinchat
Chiffchaff- just about in all places at present. We solely had 5 Barn Swallows at present and what with the big numbers round throughout September now behind us , it is all quite late autumnal on the market.
The moth entice dominated by Lunar Underwings (so variable) is one other signal of the instances
Black Rustic- one other basic later autumn  moth
