Today was really quiet and can only put it down to the weather making it such good local feeding and thus the birds where in no hurry to migrate. Chaffinch were probably the main mover today. I did have a trickle as such:

Also had a singing Chiffchaff near the sewage farm. Also had 2 separate Willow Warblers.
