Another classic summer day here. Little in the way of migrants. A couple of med gulls out on the sea, one of the previous days juvenile blackcaps still hanging around, a singing reed warbler and a roving tit flock that included 3 young coal tits. 

More lesser whitethroat chicks on the wing, but very gradually. Skylarks stopped breeding here in 1998, so a singing bird today was notable. 


Records of the Lackey have increased over the last half a dozen years, which is notable as it is now listed on the red list as "vulnerable".

Birds Ringed: Blue Tit 1, Coal Tit 1, Dunnock 1, Lesser Whitethroat 1.
