19th August

It was a much quieter day with migrant passerines noticeably reduced than of late with a different fly-over flava wagtail the only definite new arrival. There were still 2 Barred Warblers in Holland House gardens, plus 4 Lesser Whitethroats but just 21 Willow Warblers were counted on the Island. Lingering waders included the Wood Sandpiper, a Black-tailed Godwit and at least 23 Ruff.
