productive and enjoyable early morning session in beautiful conditions. Yellow Wagtail over, calling and continuing south at 0725, and a cracking juvenile Hobby low overhead (and heading southeast) at 0845. Also a nice selection of warblers, with a notably late Sedge battling with chiffys in the reeds.
Wildfowl numbers remain high, although aside from the six common duck species (and the Red-crested Pochards), the autumn has yet to provide much variety.
