RDME visited the Head briefly this morning and covered Shooters, Birling Lane and the Wood.
One Wryneck was seen again in Shooters Bottom but otherwise small numbers of night migrants although warblers were very active and he felt he had probably under-estimated these. Only small number of hirundines were seen during his visit and 20 Meadow Pipits moved E.
