Clear skies and a north-easterly wind continue and they seem to have blown out visible migration with not too much on the move today: Ebird list
HERE . Highlights included 12 Swift, 11 Common Snipe flying around at dusk, 1 Red Kite, a few Swallows and Sand Martins, 2 Yellow Wagtails and an increase in the number of singing warblers including 6 Reeds, 5 Chiffs, 18 Blackcaps and 10 Whitethroat.
A Frosted Green in the trap, the year's first Shuttle-shaped Dart and a Brindled Pug provided a bit of interest on the moth front. Also a few Red Admirals on the wing.
The clear unpolluted skies make a nice lighting on the roosting parakeets (every evening hundreds fly past my window to the Mitcham Common roost, about 500 today)
