A quite chilly morning for the time of year at the lighthouse with all the usual birds that you would expect for autumn
The big surprise of the day and the 2nd record for the Lighthouse area was a Cetti's Warbler its burst of song was heard near the pond at Lunchtime found by Jeremy Bradshaw , following on from a bird Stan Skelton found a few years previous, a very welcome visitor and hopefully a long stayer with the pond area being an ideal habitat,

A steady flow of Meadow Pipit passed through some stopping On the embankment and sea wrack for minute insects , Also on the embankment were a sizable flock of Linnet , An elusive Wheatear and 3 Turnstone which blended in perfectly with the seaweed ,
Other Waders further out were Oystercatcher, Curlew, Redshank and a Greenshank on the sand opposite the Lighthouse car park
Lingham lane was bustling with Chiffchaff every bush seemed to have either a chiffchaff or a Goldcrest 2 female Blackcap one near the the bridge and another near the Tarran golf course where also a Bullfinch was heard,
