Kingfisher in area 1, most of the latest sightings have been in this area.
The coldest night of the autumn, with a beautiful clear sky. Due to this, watching for visible migration was fairly hard. It meant listening carefully and using any piece of wispy cloud to help pick out the birds.
Common Sandpiper: One was on the edge of the island facing the banstand, area 6 at 8.00am.
Chiffchaff: 2 in area 26.
Blackcap: 1 female in area 26.
Kingfisher: 1 was present in area 1 between 12.00 and 1.00pm.

Comments
I see that this is a female Kingfisher. I thought that the prevoius sightings were of males so does this mean that there maybe a pair in the park?
Hopefully, as the last time that I saw two, one was being chased.
