Landsort diary 23rd September 2016

All nets opened at 0515 and closed at 1215. A quieter day than recently but still 116 new birds of 17 species including another Yellow-browed Warbler (5th of the year) and a Hawfinch which was a ringing tick for Kay.
 
Janne & Rasmus were at the Lighthouse all morning but sea passage was quiet, with a Common Whitethroat and Great Grey Shrike (1st of the autumn) being the best birds.
 
Four arrive at the Obs tonight to give 10 overall: Chris, Kay, Janne, Rasmus, Sue, Beryl, Liam, Bosse, Jacob and Therese.
