Autumn migration getting underway?

Ben Porter writes- 

It feels like a bit of southward migration is starting to get underway here in Machynlleth, mainly in the form of warblers, hirundines and some gulls. A walk past Glanmerin and over Y Wylfa common on 22nd produced over 35 Swallows moving through westwards, at least 18 Willow warblers amongst the bracken, many being quite bright yellow-looking youngsters; and a flock of 85 Lesser Black-backed Gulls flying west over the Dyfi Valley towards Borth. Nothing particularly scarce as yet, but it feels like things are on the move!
