6th August

The Black-headed Bunting was still present in the Observatory crop fields during the morning but like yesterday, it wasn't seen in the afternoon. A Willow Warbler at the north end was the first of the autumn and also seen today were a Ruff on Bewan, 4 Greenshanks and a single Green Sandpiper. A count of 322 Turnstones was the highest of the autumn so far and included the first juvenile birds.
