20th September

Another pleasant day although the wind had picked up again by late afternoon; there was actually little new picked up through the day with the first Brambling of the autumn, three Pied Flycatchers and now three Yellow-browed Warblers present.   Lingering birds included the Pectoral Sandpiper still, two Little Stints, the Marsh Warbler re-trapped at Holland and an un-ringed Common Rosefinch which appeared at Holland House - which possibly could have been a new bird?   It was very autumnal feeling with good numbers of Snow and Lapland Buntings dotted around with a couple of Merlins harassing them and waders and wildfowl well represented.
