23rd August

Just a handful of birds in today with a pied flycatcher at Holland, a whinchat by the School and a total of 8 willow warblers. A wood sandpiper on Gretchen Loch was new and also there were 2 black-tailed godwit and 5 ruff. A kestrel was seen in the north and the first song thrush of the autumn was by the Observatory late afternoon.
