There was a bit of vis mig going on at the farmlands this morning; 1 first-winter Wheatear, 9 Yellow Wagtails (6+3), 41 Swift going through, 4 Barn Swallow, 2 Hobby appeared over the lake hunting Starlings and there were at least 15 Chiffchaff along the railway and we caught a Sedge Warbler by the lake. Also 1 Kingfisher, 9 Green Sandpiper, 3 Common Sandpiper, 2 Buzzard, 2 Sprawk,, 2 Little Egret and about 2000 Starling around too.
