Mini-fall

Cloud and rain overnight did the trick in dropping a nice little selection of migrants into Hackney Marshes and the racecourse this morning, the pick being a couple of Wheatears on the racecourse (I suspect more were present in areas that were not visible). Also noted were three Whitethroats, two Sedge Warblers, a Willow Warbler, a dozen or so Swallows and several more Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs in addition to the territorial birds.
