A migrant Siskin calling over Quarter Wall Copse marks the first record of the autumn. A Yellow-browed Warbler and Common Whitethroat were recorded in St John's Valley, and a Willow Warbler on the Lower East Path. Four Firecrest were logged across the island, with three in Millcombe/St John's and the other in Bracken at Gannets' Combe. A Whinchat was at Ackland's Moor during census, and six 'Greenland' Wheatear were recorded across the island. The first-winter female Ring Ouzel continues to be seen around Belle Vue Cottages. Two Spotted Flycatcher were seen, one individual in Quarter Wall Copse and the other sheltering on stone walls at Old Light Cottage. Three Lapwing headed south late morning, eight Cormorant were seen heading north, and four first-winter Grey Heron were seen mid-afternoon with birds on both east and west coasts north of Halfway Wall. Two Merlin were logged including a new-in male, and the Short-toed Lark continues its stay for the 12th day.
