One Osprey went through and south over Bonchurch on the 14th. Big numbers of hirundines (1000s) and siskins (100s) consistently pass by. A couple of Lesser Redpoll have already gone over the Downs (singles on the 13th & 15th) and judging by the observations from other UK vis miggers - like the big crossbill & siskin movements we've seen so far this year - it's lining up to be a productive autumn for them too. Two Ring Ouzel at St. Martin's Down (19th).
