Thursday 1st May 2025

 

Pleasant morning with a handful of migrants including a total of 16 Whimbrel (+ one freshly dead on the reserve), 8 Lesser 'throat, 5 Whitethroat, 3 Swallow, 2 Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaff, Reed Warbler, Ring Ouzel (for 4th day), Willow Warbler, Yellow Wag & a new Robin. 26 Sanderling, single Dulin & Turnstone were on the beach.

Our only previous record of Streamer was on the last day of April a couple of years ago so 2 in the same trap was unexpected. Feeding on Dog Rose there is no reason why it can't live here.

Ringing: 2 Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Robin, 1 Whitethroat.
