Nick Hopper has once again provided us with a snapshot of the wonders of night time migration from the night of 5th/6th September. Although the skies were clear that night there was still an interesting mix with the highlight of an over-land Common Scoter, which was joined by: Short-eared Owl, Golden Plover, Green Sandpiper, Greenshank, Common Sandpiper, Whimbrel (flock), Ringed Plover (flocks), 5 Pied Flycatcher, Spotted Flycatcher, 4 Robins, 84 Yellow Wagtail calls and 71 Tree Pipit calls.
Many thanks to Pete and Debby for saving the day bird-wise, the Little Gull was accompanied by three Sandwich Terns © Pete Saunders:
