9 Cormorants feeding this morning was a good score for this site (JP).
Around mid-day 4 Small Copper were feeding on Ragwort and Hawkbit (C. Parkin). If its stays frost free with a little bit of sunshine these same insects will muster up enough energy to feed on the these flowers well into November.
The Tawny Owl was posing in the Sycamore tree again and started to call at dusk before it moved off to hunt. We were hoping for Snipe at dusk, but not one came off, something that has never happened at this time of year before. However, 4 Water Rail called and 3 Cetti's Warbler sang and at 18.33hrs, in darkness, a large skein of about 200 Pink Feet were just discernable heading west (CG/D. Standish).
