Adult Reed Warbler new in this morning. Is this a late spring arrival or an early autumn departing bird - with Reed Warblers at this time of the year you never know ? Going south 47 Swifts, 7 Curlew, 5 Whimbrel, 3 Redshank, single Oyk, Dunlin, Kittiwake & Swallow. A Skua piled into the big gulls behind a distant fishing boat well offshore eluded identification. Finally the first juv Black-headed Gull of the autumn was noted & the female Serin still with us.
