Autumn dawns 1st Sept - mostly sunny 19C, light W

Willey; well only 14 Swallows were on the wires this morning, with odd ones flying around, suggesting that more left on migration since yesterday mornings count.

Stanford reservoir; another try to see the Whinchat, again no sighting.  A Common Sandpiper flew passed, a couple of Little Egret where on the islands again.  Chiffchaff, Willow Warblers were numerous, with Blackcaps, Whitethroat and Lesser Whitethroat also seen.  Otherwise things are much as expected, there's an expectation the migration will turn up something unusual in the next few weeks, as well as more returning winter visitors.
