With the days starting to get shorter the birds start to get moving to their wintering grounds. At Fen Drayton Lakes this means chance of some unusual waders and visible migration overhead in the form of finches and larks. Highlight of the month went to a juvenile Osprey which showed well for several observers at Oxholme Lake on the 9th before departing. Elsewhere on the reserve Moore Lake seemed to be the place to be with lots of action around the islands following the clearance of this year's vegetation and falling water levels exposing mud for waders and shallow waters to hunt for egrets and ibis. Sightings of note included:
