Wrynecks have this ability to reappear after a day or two and just when you think they've left - Voila! Of course we won't know for sure if its the same bird unless we ring it. Westerlies have been kind to us as of late at least for ringing totals and sure enough there were warblers in the bushes again. Migrants include 12 Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Hobby, 86 House Martin, 3 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Meadow Pipit, 1 Pied Flycatcher, 2 Reed Warbler, 2 Sparrowhawk, 48 Swallow, 4 Wheatear and 8 Willow Warbler. Offshore 2 Common Scoter, 46 Wigeon, 1 Redshank and 6 Shoveler.
Hoopoe was present again down the road. Please note that Adastral Close is a private area with no general access.
