September just round the corner!

 Yes indeedy - the autumn fun is just about to start! Seawatching thus far has been a pretty lame affair, with only a handful of the larger shears and little else of note, including decent winds! However, 11 (count 'em!) wigeon on the lake this morning, and an unprecedented five coot was indicative of some movement, plus small waders have been belting over in small numbers for the last couple of days - things is picking up at last!

Evening update: Fast forward to late afternoon when a very heavy spell of rain seemed to land some migs on Galley. I found two pied flycatchers and a nice imm male redstart, while old spoons found another redstart and a tree pipit, which I was able to validate. Which was nice! Hopefully get a few more bits tomorrow...
