Notes: Only few warblers today, most having left: a couple Blackcaps and a few Chiffchaffs,
a straggler Reed Warbler, also a Reed Bunting that we called in. We noticed
that House Martins were going through low down, so we switched from
Scarce Migrants to Hirundine audio early in the session and called about 30 down
almost immediately, including some Swallows, unfortunately they swooped low over the nets
near the speaker a couple of times before heading west .

Sightings:
We haven’t recorded a Pheasant here for a while, not
a bird you want to see near mist nets. Reed Buntings have not been detected by us since early September, this morning at least four called from the reed bed at nets up. There seemed to be a few more Moorhens
than usual calling and a Raven flew north.
