On the marsh yesterday: grasshopper warbler, tree pipit 4+ (3 captured), 22 blackcaps and a garden warbler. 

Small-scale movements of grey wagtail have been noted throughout the week.  Chiffchaff numbers low and willow warbler have cleared out.  Reed and sedge warbler numbers also very low. 

A large roost of swallows is in the marsh – in excess of 300 birds present.  More details on ringing results yesterday at: http://gowerbirdringinggroup.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/oxwich-marsh-4-sept-2014-2000-new-birds.html
