A good fall of birds on the patch

With the deepest low pressure recorded at this time of year for 30 years moving north up the country from late yesterday onwards, the resulting heavy rain and ESE winds produced a good fall of migrants on the patch today, and although nothing major could be found it was nice to see a good showing of migrants at last with Redstarts, Whinchats, Pied Flycatcher, Garden Warblers, Blackcaps, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff all noted round the patch. Sadly the searching had to be abandoned with a big deterioration in the weather during the afternoon, but hopefully that bodes well for more birds tomorrow....
