Alan texted to say there was a male Stonechat on one of the vents, but it went missing immediately, so I tried from the bottom of the car park field. No joy, but stood with Trevor and Brian, we noticed 2-3 small jobs dropping in on the landfill, then 2-3 more, which circled and gave up their identity as Meadow Pipits.
This confirms a new 2nd highest September species count of 98, but still 6 more to equal the 2012 record of 104. There are still a couple more possibles that could show up, but it is going to have to turn into a special month of migration to get anywhere near that.
Still Redwing, Garganey, Marsh Harrier, Merlin, Peregrine and Osprey could all happen, as could various waders. even the odd tern, or Linnet.
