Mipits, Brents


Unlike every other Blackcap I've seen this autumn this male was hopping around in the road, right out in the open.

Orcombe Point early this morning - 67+ Meadow Pipits west - the first significant passage of the autumn, 2 Tree Pipits, 2 'alba' wagtails, 1 Grey Wagtail, 11+ Chiffchaffs, 4 Blackcaps and a Whitethroat.
Mudbank - 7 Bar-tailed Godwits, 16 Black-tailed Godwits, c150 Wigeon, 12+ Redshank, 1 Greenshank, 71 Shelduck, 1 Whimbrel, 27+ Little Egrets, c40+ Ringed Plovers, 1 Teal, 1 Kingfisher and at least 1 Osprey. Nearby - 6 Dark-bellied Brent Geese in Duckpond.
Yesterday - c20 Cattle Egrets on a couple wrecks over the other side of the river. Also c150 Wigeon.


Dark-bellied Brent Geese - Duckpond - the first returners.
