On 28th August, the Obs ringed 4 Grasshopper Warblers within the trapping area. The most ringed at the Obs in one session for some time. I had managed to miss all the previously ringed Grasshopper Warblers but managed to see the fourth bird ringed that day. Many thanks to Jacob for letting me know.

In the Observatory Desert area a couple of Whinchats were hanging out with a couple of Wheatears.

On the 27th August there were 5 Garganey that suddenly appeared in front of the Firth Lookout at Burrowes Pit on the RSPB Reserve. Unfortunately some poor fieldcraft by yours truly flushed them however, the next evening they re-appeared.

A juvenile Black Tern appeared on Burrowes on the 8th August. This one, has been hanging around on Burrowes since at least the 27th August.
