Friday September 20

I had a couple of hours to spare this morning. Cloudy with sunny intervals and a very light westerly breeze. Not bad conditions.

One or two birds caught my attention. An adult Peregrine on a pylon, a fly-over Yellow Wagtail and a late Whinchat. There was also plenty of overhead passage, with at least 81 Swallows and 28 Meadow Pipits heading south.

There are now five Mute Swans dotted about the site, but the flashes continue to disappoint, containing 57 Teal, a Green Sandpiper, five Snipe, and 125 Greylag Geese this morning.

On the walk back I had a nice view of this Southern Hawker.
