A late swift hawking over the house caused some excitement this evening but it turned out to be just a common! Also this evening the first spotted and pied flycatchers of the autumn and the first goldcrest this morning. Single curlew, sand martin and sparrowhawk today plus a small number (5+) willow warblers. 2 common redstarts (a juv and a male) on 20th were scarce records out here (it is not an annual species)
