The Day After!

The first Willow Warbler of the Autumn
The first Willow warblers of the autumn were trapped today along with a few Common Whitethroats, a few Swifts went south and a Peregrine was on the pylons.
The reserve was very quiet after yesterdays excitement as most the waders cleared out over night.
