Having only seen one Willow Warbler all spring 3 here today constitutes a "fall" with a supporting cast of 8 Chiffchaff, 7 Wheatear, 3 Blackcap, Swallow, Whimbrel and the first Redstart & Sedge Warbler of the year. Offshore quiet with northbound 7 Common Scoter, Curlew & Gannet.


Northern Drab is one of those species that occurs in low numbers and often looks not a lot like the ones in the books.

Ringing: 2 Blackcap, 2 Willow Warbler, 1 Redstart, 1 Robin.
