A most gratifying morning at the farm saw me build up a decent tally of early autumn migrants, namely eight
Yellow Wagtails and singles of
Spotted Flycatcher,
Whinchat,
Lesser Whitethroat,
Wheatear,
Swift and
Meadow Pipit, along with a light scattering of
Whitethroats,
Blackcaps and
Chiffchaffs. I do love the autumn! A couple of hours at Beddington in the evening scored yet another
Whinchat, along with a
Snipe, a
Little Egret and a 1cy
Yellow-legged Gull (I think the same very white-headed bird from the other day) of note. A
Cetti's Warbler was calling and the
hordes of
Starlings were taking advantage of the aerial plankton feast.
