With the temperature this morning not venturing into double figures there was a definite autumnal feel in the air. Fitting then that the first bird I locked onto was a Whimbrel, scampering along the mudflats with a the mist cloaked Clwydians as a backdrop.
Two Peregrines were present, one on top of its usual pylon perch, the other eyeing the waders from an old post just yards from the river.
One Black-tailed Godwit on the river along with three Common Sandpipers added to the regulars, while two Little Egret fished by the railway bridge - there have been up to five in this location recently.
On the way back I had yet another Lesser Whitethroat hopping through the scrub but still giving great views - earlier this year I couldn't buy a view of one of these warblers but at the moment I'm picking at least one up on most visits. Hope to see a couple more before they head off.
