Sunday 1st May 2022

 

Migrants included 5 Wheatear, 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Song Thrush, 2 Willow Warbler & Fieldfare plus the territorial Lesser Whitethroats & Whitethroats. On the move southbound at least 48 Swallow, 10 Goldfinch & Siskin with northbound 2 Swallow & Yellow Wagtail plus 3 Sand Martin in off. Offshore southbound 9 Oyk, 4 Whimbrel & Grey Plover with northbound 2 Common Scoter.

Haven't seen a Dog's Tooth for three years with past records usually later in the season and not looking like this dark form so it caused a little head scratching.

Ringing: nil (despite ideal weather conditions).
