It's slowing down

Since peaking at nearly 400 birds a day, our totals have gradually declined, along with the temperature.  Things are definitely becoming more autumnal and as every day passes, more and more of the leaves are turning yellow, gold and brown.

The main highlights today included the first fieldfare of the trip, another two tree pipits and our 4th sedge warbler.  Back in the UK sedge warblers are a reasonably common and widespread breeding species in suitable habitat, but this far north local specialties like little bunting far out number them!
