Grey and misty

I skipped Lea Farm this morning, opting for BSL instead and counted my best ever number of Grey Wagtail, I'd seen 4-5 on a few dates this month, but today's 7 was exceptional and likely to be a record.

Grey Wagtail is a tricky species to see early in the year, it used to breed under one of the bridges near Sandford Mill, but doesn't seem to anymore.

I've been noting Grey Wagtail passage in September for the last few years, but not made comprehensive notes and I expect far more go thru than we realise.

A Little Owl calling as the only other worthy mention, few warblers, few of anything really.
