Still moulting into autumn plumage
My sort of weather at last with temperature down to 14 degrees on a strong NW>4-5 and plenty rain that,s worked wonders to filling the ponds and livening up the mud which was drying out badly.
Having said that birding was quiet with just a single Ringed Plover present but good to get the first 2 Wheatear back, apart from the juv ,which has been hanging around a few week. Todays 2 were in moult but nearly in their autumn plumage arriving just 1 week earlier than last year. The Barnacles and Canadas are loving the new islands.
