Well, a new month and unofficial start of Autumn - noticed a Pec Sand on goingirding fairly early in the day and so decided on a 'twitch', the first for a year or two. Obvious in front of Meon Shore hide, typically nice looking bird. Two Marsh Harriers, four Yellow Wagtails and singles of Sparrowhawk, Kestrel and Peregrine. Holly Blue was best of butterflies in the vicinity of the Ivy Bee spot although none of the latter yet. Seemed pretty much migrant free other than 30 mixed hirundines. This was the scruffiest Water Rail I've seen and underexposing it didn't help!!

Back home pertinax/tenax/pipiens in the garden.
