Saturday 14th around 09:15, I was just returning to my car after a quick car park field walk, when Brian texted, saying juv Ringed Plover LFGP NE corner, so I marched up there pretty quick.
September birds are rare, the archives go as follows:
1/4th to 7th & 12th 1993
1/15th to 30th 1984
1/5th & 22nd 1982
Additionally just missing September, 1/1st October 1989.
While we were there Richard spotted a Wheater, then we had 2, then 3, then 4, Trevor stayed and found we had 5, a new autumn high count.
On the way back we got distracted by a single note call, of a nearly unviewable bird, some say it was juvenile Bullfinch, I am not convinced. It was gone by 14:00.
Today, I did a quick 07:15 walk around the car park field, 2 then 3 Meadow Pipit over SE, then an adult winter Common Gull, again not so common in September, went over North, 6+ Chiffchaff most of which were with a tit flock, plus 3-4 Blackcap. The month list is on 88, after Marek got Linnet Sunday morning at LFGP.
