Great Spotted Woodpecker from the trapping area

 Another poor day migrant wise on the peninsular, very small numbers of Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs,  Blackcaps, Common and Lesser Whitethroats, as far as I know no Flycatchers were seen and I still have not seen a Common Redstart this autumn. I did mange to see the Wryneck today, but the view I had was abysmal.

This evening from Firth Hide nothing of note emphasising how poor the birding is at the moment. At the ARC also nothing of note as Sparrowhawk had cleared the islands just before I arrived
