Weather,clear,moderate southwest.I spent the morning and early afternoon ringing at Sandwich.Due to the wind,netting was again restricted to a few nets in the White House bushes and the Haven.Almost the first bird trapped was a Cetti`s Warbler (in tail moult) hence the rather grotty photo.Two more warblers were trapped,one being a Blackcap and the other a retrapped Chiffchaff.By mid-morning Redpolls were being attracted to the nets and about 40 were ringed.Other birds ringed were - Robin,1,Greenfinch 11,Blackbird 2,Chaffinch 6 and small numbers of Blue and Great Tits.
Small numbers of Crossbills were again passing over,its been a good autumn for this species.I looked at the scrape but could only find a few Teal.On the way home two Buzzards were seen together along the M20 and few miles past the Canterbury/Dover turn off.
