Generally low numbers of night migrants although from 08.15-08.45 an influx of migrants appeared in Shooters Bottom but after 30 minutes the majority had moved through. Very little in the way of diurnal migration with just the odd Yellow Wagtails and Meadow Pipits moving over.
RE was ringing in Whitbread Hollow and recorded good numbers of Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps and also 2 Grasshopper Warblers.
