Autumn migration properly getting today with the Glossy Ibis still present off Stratford, as well as a couple of Scaup off Heron's Green.
Yellow-browed Warblers appearing in several places (keep looking in your gardens, you never know when one might turn up!) Decent finch passage on the coast too, with good numbers of Starlings also on the move.
Big thrush arrival on the east coast today, so they may arrive here tomorrow.
