The next emergence of Small Heath is now out to play.

Bright n' breezy. Handful of migrants include 4 Whitethroat, 4 Willow Warbler, 2 Blackcap, 2 Lesser 'throat & Wheatear. Southbound 5 Swallow, 4 Sand Martin, 2 House Martin & Little Egret. Looking offshore a waste of time. Worth a mention are regular Sparrowhawk sightings suggesting that local pairs have churned several young out this year that are now going walkabout.

Feathered Brindle does not usually appear until September with dark individuals, like this one, making up less than 1% of the population.

Ringing: 1 Blackbird, 1 Blackcap, 1 Linnet, 1 Sparrowhawk, 1 Whitethroat.
