A gloomy day with fog and a little drizzle and a few migrants about. My morning and early afternoon wanderings yielded two Pied Flycatchers, Garden Warbler, Blackcap and Whitethroat. A few Teal and Wigeon were noted moving offshore along with a couple of Bonxies. At the ringing site I set a net and it was not long before the Red-breasted Flycatcher that arrived yesterday was safely in the net. Always a joy and a welcome addition to the Long Nab ringing list.
Early afternoon saw the arrival of a Redstart and then a short break before returning to the ringing site where apart from a couple of newly arrived Wheatears and a Grey Plover clearly lost in the fog, it seemed fairly quiet. However as we left four Song Thrushes were indicative of continuing arrivals and Nick's evening wanderings added Tree Pipit, Firecrest another Redstart and a couple of Spotted Flycatchers. Great stuff!
