Stonechats are now arriving and a few small parties are to be found out on Aveley and Wennington. Always a sign here of autumn...

A lovely male Redstart was seen by David Smith and Andy Tweed last week and Spotted Flycatchers have still been seen in the Cordite.

My walk today produced 14 Chiffchaffs, four Blackcap, six Goldcrests and a late Whitethroat and Reed Warbler while overhead finches were on the move along with a few Meadow Pipits, Pied Wagtails and the first three Skylarks of the autumn.
I wonder what the weekend will hold?
