Return of the King

A quick bash around the patch for the last hour of daylight was made worthwhile by the presence of a BLACK-CAPPED KINGISHER, my first of the autumn.  I don't know if this is a passage migrant or one of the birds that usually winters - either way it is a stunning migrant to see.

Otherwise rather quiet, with just one EASTERN CROWNED WARBLER and three BROWN SHRIKES.
