5th August: When you have a bit of a lie in because it's too windy for the mist-nets and are greeted on rising with the news that the ongoing seawatch is the poorest of the year you know the day's going to be hard work - and it was. Bill quiet on all fronts but waders a little on the up sums it up.

migrant hawker at old hill this morning, really quiet, no sign of autumn ladies tresses coming through the brown fields yet and virtually no chalkhills where usually there are loads.
