The search for the farms 2nd record of YBW continues with very few migrants on the farm today. A Blackcap, a couple of Chiffchaff and a few Meadow Pipit were small reward for time spent walking the banks of the River Piddle and Devil's Brook.
Redwing 3 heading N was a sign that winter is on its way!
A few Teal 7 were noted in flight at Puddletown Water Meadows but the Tufted Duck had moved on from the Causeway Pond. I tested out Merlin whilst at the pond and it identified correctly all the regular species bar one which I neither heard or saw (Spotted Flycatcher).
There was a trickle of Swallow 12 today indicating their time in the UK is limited!
There was a small gathering of Great Cormorant at Burleston pond in the afternoon.
It was also good to see a number of Blackbird back out in the open having spent the last 4-6 weeks in moult!
