A young Stonechat was only our fifth August record which was seen to tower up at the north end and head high over the caravan site. On the move southbound 27 Swallow & 4 Redshank with northbound a Little Egret. A selection of migrants on site included 3 Willow Warbler, Garden Warbler, Wheatear and yet more visits from Great Spotted & Green Woodpecker. Difficult to know whether the Lesser Whitethroats and Whitethroats at this time of the year are birds that originate here or are migrants now starting to pass through. Chiffchaff (above) will be a wandering juv as passage doesn't get going in this species until the end of the month.
Marbled Green is a variable species common along the coast living on lichens.
Ringing: 37 Starling, 2 Dunnock, 1 Garden Warbler, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Willow Warbler.
