Ortolan Bunting. A common migrant in September.

Hoopoe

Black Woodpecker. Regularly seen or heard at Station 2

With the possibility of Semi-collared Flycatcher it was worth scrutinizing any Pied types. This Pied showed quite obvious white in the outer two tail feathers that continued around the tip but was a normal female/1stw Pied from above.

Jay. Caucasus race krynicki. White forehead and black nape.

Short-toed Lark

Tawny Pipit

Tree Pipit. Heard flying over throughout the day, everyday. A few sometimes stopped and rested at the watch points. This bird dropped out of the sky and sat in a tree for a few minutes before continuing on its way.
