Strong overnight winds were slow to decrease, so limited net opening from 0415 until 1145 with a light shower of rain for 10 minutes around 1000 – more like a mist.
A total of 31 new birds of 10 species including the second Grasshopper Warbler (Gräshoppsångare) of the autumn and third Barred Warbler (Höksångare) of the year.
Bosse & Niklas spent the morning in the north and reported it quiet for migration but three Cuckoo (Gök) and a Bluethroat (Blåhake) were seen.
There will be four at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Niklas and Bosse, though we are left guessing again about whether Janne will turn up or not!!!
