Getting quiet

I missed yesterday totally from a patch perspective, gladly nothing important missed, 3 Yellow Wagtail went thru early (Marek).

Today a brief car park field visit brought only 5+ Blackcap, 3+ Chiffchaff, our male Redstart didn't show yesterday, but it broke the record with a 13 day stay. There were later birds 15th to 18th 2012, 14th & 27th 2011 and 22nd to 25th 2009, so passage might not be over?

On BSL 11 Wigeon and 3 Gadwall, were all I could see in a 5 minute look. The month is on 82, so a considerable way to go to reach last years amazing 104. The other most recent Septembers brought 97 in 2010, 95 in 2008 & 2011 and 90 in 2009.
