A very uninspiring watch, with the wind set to stay NE for the next week at least, I can't see things improving.
Juvenile Yellow Wagtail, part of a flock of c60 in The Desert this morning
A wander around The Desert saw a flock of c60 Yellow Wagtails, c30 Meadow Pipits, 4 Whinchats, 4 Stonechats, 5 Wheatears, a single Whimbrel over, 12 Common Whitethroats, 2 Lesser Whitethroats, Green and Great-spotted Woodpecker and 2 Sparrowhawks of note, there was also a trickle of Sand Martins and Swallows over. There is now a large flock of Starlings building so maybe that will attract one their cousins. Also in the area a nice patch of Autumn Lady's-tresses.
