The first red-breasted flycatcher in 2015 was also the earliest ever autumn record, most are trapped in September. This bird can be aged as a 1 cy by the buff wedge-shaped tips to the greater coverts, creating a rusty wing-bar. Dvergfluesnapper 1K, det tidligste høstfunnet noen gang på Revtangen OS.

1 cy ortolan bunting. This is only the third to be ringed at Revtangen BO, the last one was in 1983. 1K hortulan, den første på Revtangen OS siden 1983. 

Two painted ladies (Vanessa cardui) stayed in the garden all day, together with 25-30 red admirals.
