Saturday 13th April 2024


A quieter day, with many of the warblers having moved through, especially the blackcaps. Still a few willow warblers and chiffchaffs around, though they were less vocal and active. Wheatear numbers rose to 14 however, and 3 yellow wagtail headed south along with 4 meadow pipits. Med gulls are still on the move, though more seemed to be heading south today than north. A redpoll singing from the observatory compound was an unexpected encounter, though it didn't stay long enough for a photo.
