Wed 2nd Oct 19

Another late start for me today, but a much better morning and quite a lot of birds around. Chiffchaff's were all over the site and with Pete Davis, Pete Loud & Matt Lonsdale also around most of the site was covered. Most of the birds seen by PRD/PL and myself are in Matt's report below.
