Another day of south westerlies, with a nice heavy shower half way through. A yellow-browed warbler was the most notable bird of the day, though only heard by one observer. A willow warbler was a bit of a surprise as its been a few weeks since the bulk of them passed through, and a welcome change from the monotony of chiffchaffs. 2 rock pipits were on the jetty, along with two turnstone and 2 wheatear were out on the reserve. 32 meadow pipit moved south, as did 74 swallows and 76 goldfinch.
Recorded for the first time two years ago, over 120 Channel Island Pugs have been noted this year. It lives on Tamarisk, so is well at home here.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 2, Chiffchaff 1, Song Thrush 1, Willow Warbler 1.
