Wed 1st Oct 25

Much the same as yesterday, several Goldcrest and Chiffchaff around the bushes, 21 Wigeon headed south over the sluice (having been on the hide pond earlier), Simon & Pat were having a busy time during a ringing session in the reedbed (see Ringing page). A walk to Sandy Point added well in excess of 10 Stonechat, Reed Bunting, Skylark, Linnets, Meadow Pipit and Goldfinch plus a steady stream of Swallow south, a few Lapwing were out on the marsh and a single Ruff was on the scrape on the way back, 2 Buzzard, 2 Kestrel & 1 Sparrowhawk were also noted.
