Thursday 2nd September

Yesterdays Dunlin appear to have moved on but one of the Spotted Flycatchers was still in the vicinity of Warbler Corner. A Little Egret spent most of the morning feeding on the edge of the Reservoir and was seen on three occasions during the morning. Two Redshank flew off at about 8am and were not seen again. There was a single Teal which again flew off early morning. There were still double figures of Chiffchaff, several Blackcap (all female) and three Willow Warblers. Three Common Tern continue to linger and there was a steady passage of Swallows moving south.
