I have seen returning Wheatears a a few days earlier than this most years but they always indicate to me that Autumn migration is underway. A few Willow Warblers were also present plus a Whitethroat lurking in the the gorse. The Spit is alive with Linnets at present with several family parties searching for food on the ground. The highlight for me today was the family of Swallows permitting a close enough approach for some reasonable photography...see www.flickr.com/photos/pagman/
2 Peregrines were sitting stationary on New Island; numbers of Curlew are steadily building. A number of moulting Mediteranean Gulls were roosting on a mud bank with a dozen or so Sandwich Terns.
