Early start in quite breezy conditions saw a few Redwing departing inland at dawn but very little actual vis mig. We called a halt on the Grey Wagtail ringing season after the 50th was ringed yesterday and of course one of the first birds over this morning was yet another late passage Grey Wagtail!
Two Goldcrest ringed so far - they are really thin on the ground this autumn along with Chiffchaff, Blackcap and migrant Robin...……...plus a dispersing Treecreeper!
