Today there were a few more birds with some late migrants including:-
European Turtle Dove - 1
Barn Swallow - 4
House Martin type - 1
The martin was an odd bird that resembled Common House Martin but had a smaller, pale but darker rump. Darker underpart colour, darker underwing. It had fetures suggesting Asian House Martin but did not look exactly like this species either. The possibility of a hybrid Common House Martin x Barn Swallow also needs looking into. See next post for more details.
