A walk around with Christian and Josiah didn't produce as many migrants as expected, I'm sure mainly down to our ineptitude closing in on the best spots at this unfamiliar and quite vast site. However, we did log four
Whinchats, two
Wheatears, 14
Yellow Wagtails, five
Tree Pipits, a
Hobby, nine eastbound
Buzzards, two
Willow Warblers, two
Lesser Whitethroats, a good scattering of
Whitethroats and
Blackcaps; a steady movement of
Sand Martins,
House Martins and
Swallows; a
Yellowhammer, a
Bullfinch, a
Grey Wagtail, 10
Stonechats, a
Nuthatch, a
Coal Tit, two
Great Spotted Woodpeckers and a
Green Woodpecker.
Sandwich Terns and
Oystercatchers could be heard along the shore.
