The odd Tree Pipit, a decent count of 12 Whinchats, 4 Pied Flycatcher, a Wryneck, 3 Yellow Wagtails, and a nice arrival of Chiffchaff, Willow warbler and Blackcap the best birding from today. Also, an impressive ~1100 Red admiral butterflies went SW after arriving from the East!!

Love watching these compact little units hunting and feeding.

Big clear out today of passerines but maybe something lurking in the bushes. A seawatch yielded Pomaraine Skua, 67 Gannets, 4 Guillemot, Razorbill, 8 Auk spp., 3 Fulmar, Whimbrel, 4 Kittiwake, 8 Manx Shearwater off SW Point this morning.

Wryneck, 2 Pied Flycatcher and a small arrival of common migrants including island scarcities Redstart and Lesser whitethroat.

Little Bunting, a couple of Pied Flycatcher and 5 Whinchat the best from today. RareBirdAlertUK BirdGuides

Lundy as wild but beaming as always...

Fab find by Shaun Robson on Lundy Bird Observatory today - a Little Bunting feeding amongst teasels and then hopping onto the roof of the staff accommodation this evening!

Little Bunting still this morning RareBirdAlertUK BirdGuides

Red breasted Flycatcher, 2 Pied Flycatcher and Turtle dove on the island plus arrival of common migrants too. No sign of Little Bunting yet and plenty other bits should be out there too! BirdGuides RareBirdAlertUK

My photos are not a patch on Steve Gantlett's absolutely magnificent shot last week, but nonetheless a real joy to encounter this Red-breasted Flycatcher in Millcombe Valley Lundy Bird Observatory this morning. A very endearing little soul, and one of Lundy's earliest autumn records.

Osprey, Red breasted Flycatcher, Knot and Pied Flycatcher all seen this morning plus a small arrival of ducks.

A quiet first couple of days on Lundy Bird Observatory with Nick Parsons in strong east winds and sunshine. A scattering of Spot Fly, Pied Fly, Whinchat, Willow Warbler, Tree Pipit and a surprise GSWoodpecker the best up to today when this superb RBFly and a Firecrest perked things up
