Whinchat


South east winds and some fog produced some migrant activity this morning. I missed 4 Ringed Plover and 1 Golden Plover but had 1 Dunlin, 2 Yellow Wagtail, 3 Wigeon (first birds of the autumn) and 10-15 Chiffchaff, 3-4 Willow Warbler, 2 Blackcap and 1 Lesser Whitethroat along the path. 4-5 Swifts still present. There seem to be a few more Robins about.
In the evening there were 10+ House Martins, 4 Kestrels, 1 Common Tern flew over and a Whinchat was north of the lake.
