Swallows moving through at a rate of about 1000 an hour for two hours this morning, together with maybe 100 sand martins, a few Grey Wagtails and the first Skylark of the autumn. Still a few warblers around including a Lesser Whitethroat. A notable rarity for Lavernock was a Nuthatch (my second in the last few weeks) and a new bird for the area for me, a Ruff, went through quite quickly. The Ruff looks like a juvenile male to me, in the (not surprisingly) grainy photos that Andy Burns managed to get.
