14th September

It certainly felt like there were a few birds starting to arrive, especially during the afternoon when the days highlight-a Red-breasted Flycatcher appeared in Holland gardens. Earlier 2 Barred Warblers at Ancum Willows included at least 1 new bird, while other notable passerines included the first 2 Song Thrushes of the autumn, lingering Wood Warbler and a scattering of other Warblers including 9 Willows. 2 Curlew Sandpipers (first of autumn) and 4 Little Stints were the pick of the waders and 7 Red-breasted Mergansers were the first of the autumn too.
