Shanklin down

Last effort before heading to Scotland for a break. Fairly murky start that became brighter. Highlight a tree pipit flying over. A few expected grounded migrants to be seen: redstarts and spotted flys and chiffs/willow warblers (one of the latter produced a subsong).
A precursor to the full-on autumn migration in the coming weeks.
