Walking through the Millennium Wetlands revealed a few of the first passerine migrants of the Autumn. One area seemed particularly good for
Spotted Flycatchers. Six were together making characteristic flights out to catch insects and returning to the same perch.

Chiffchaff were also in the area with a single
Willow Warbler. The highlight however was a
Garden Warbler which gave good views for the short time I was watching it.

A low tide visit to the lagoon meant that there weren't many waders. In fact there was only one, but that one was a
Ruff which gave exceptionally close views as it swam up to the observatory before flying off in the direction of the scrapes.

Cycling back home along the coast path saw two
Stonechat, and a quick check of Delta Lake revealed that the
Little Gull was still present.
