intermittently.
Notes: Good
to get back to normal after a holiday break. KMB joined us – accessing for her
C permit which as far as I’m concerned she is more than ready for. Mostly Blackcap and Chiffchaff still, their passage usually peaks week 37/38 here so we have probably missed their migration high point. Goldcrests peak migration usually starts week 40 (next week) and continues until week 44 after which it steeply drops
away. Somebody claimed a Yellow-browed Warbler yesterday at the other end of
the common so we hoped there might be one about today but no luck; the last
couple of weeks of September into October is when we have ringed them here in
the past.
Blue Tit ringed:

Sightings: Swallows over South, some
flying west-ish along the tree line to the north. A Woodlark was singing for a
while, the first here since around the end of May. A few Chaffinch flying over, must be arriving
from elsewhere because there are no resident birds at this end of the common that
I’ve detected since early Spring. Expected more Jay activity as they are
usually collecting acorns this time of year, flying back and forth across the
heath.
