07:20 arrival at BSL today, where I immediately picked up the first 2 Pochard (imms) of the autumn over near the gold course strip. Lots of Swallows already streaming thru SE, at least 300, probably nearer 400 in next 1.5 hours, 50+ House Martin and about 60 Meadow Pipits in groups of 3-8. Just 5-6 Blackcap and 3 Chiffchaff seen in car park field Hawthorn. A very noisy Ring necked Parakeet and Nuthatch were about it, then 3 Linnet went SW. A lone Siskin landing in the Alder was all I had from a 2 minute look at Sandford.
The Pochard make it 103 species for the month for the area.
