September 29th 2010

Napton on the Hill again this afternoon hoping the south east wind, low cloud and rain had downed more migrants but the conditions were so dire I ended up hearing more than I saw. The main activity was between the Church and village where viewing is difficult and ended up with only Spotted Flycatcher and Whitethroat for my efforts.
The pond was not much better though locating the Lesser Scaup was easier than yesterday and the only new arrival was a distant sleeping female/immature Common Scoter - other birds of interest noted were 4 Ringed Plover, Dunlin, 8 Yellow Wagtail and 40+ Meadow Pipit. I was still trying to dry out when Dave came round tonight.
