The past week has seen lots of passage migrants moving through the reserve. Several Turnstones have been the pick of wader passage which has also included Common Sandpiper, Green Sandpiper, Dunlin, Ruff and Little Ringed Plovers. Migrant passerines have included several Redstarts, Whinchats, Yellow Wagtails and Spotted Flycatchers. Raptors are still very much in evedence with daily sightings of Hobby, Red Kite and Marsh Harrier. A sure sign that autumn is upon us has been the return of both Lesser Redpoll and Siskin to the feeders around the Visitor Centre.
