Did worn you that baby Starlings are now out to play and with the lack of migrants then one has to be content with little rewards. On site 2 Blackcap, 2 Wheatear, Mipit & Willow Warbler plus southbound 48 Swallow & 2 Yellow Wag with northbound single House Martin and Swallow. Offshore northbound 20 Common Scoter, 8 Carrion Crow, 4 Brent, 3 Mute Swan & Whimbrel plus 4 Little Egret that flew up river. Getting to the stage where the local Lesser 'throats & Whitethroats are on territory so they might not feature daily in this report unless migrants show up.
Flame Shoulder occurs in a wide variety of habitats over a wide area but only in small numbers here.
Ringing: 1 Blackbird, 1 Willow Warbler.
