This morning at Sandwich there was a large fall of Blackcaps.Which coincided with a pre-dawn shower at around 0500,an estimate of 500 were present in the trapping area alone (273 were ringed).There was also smaller numbers of other warblers present,Chiffchaffs,Willow Warblers and Garden,in all,327 birds were ringed.Singles of Redstart,Pied Flycatcher and Spotted were seen.
Away from ringing,raptors were on the move from about 1030.With 25-30 Common Buzzards,2-3 Honey,6 Hobbies and 2 Sparrowhawks seen over Worth marshes.
On my way home I stopped off at Oare marshes and saw an Osprey,which capped off an excellent day.
