Eastern promise this morning delivered the second site record of Booted Warbler (top) & the third site record of Blyth's Reed Warbler with a fine supporting cast of 12 Pied Fly, 6 Lesser 'throat, 4 Willow Warbler, 3 Redstart, 3 Wheatear, 2 Chiffchaff & 2 Whinchat. One of the local Black reds is still about the Forts environs. Offshore southbound 60 Teal, 3 Whimbrel & 3 Wigeon.
Haven't seen a Channel Islands Pug since a run of them in the last week of June so was surprised to get this one this morning although in areas in southern Britain where they have already colonised they can still be out at this time. All a big learning curve for us when we get new kids on the block (so to speak).
Ringing: 7 Pied Flycatcher, 4 Goldfinch, 1 Blyth's Reed Warbler, 1 1 Dunnock, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Whitethroat, 1 Willow Warbler.
