Home: Started of the day with the sound of a houit in the Buddleia bush. Sure enough didn't take long for a fresh run adult CHIFFCHAFF to put in an appearance. This is the first of real migrant that all will wit for. Perhaps this is the year that I get my 1st Yellow Browed Warbler in the garden?
North Dene's: Went for a walk round the bushes and picked up on at least 5 adult COMMON WHITHROAT. The reality is that a pair of these birds are still feeding young. No real surprise there I suppose. I also met up with an obliging male BLACKCAP which was intent on feeding on blackberries. Also the proverbial GREENFINCH about 5 birds in all. Took to watching tern's with no surprises. But the amount of SWALLOWS was really great. But when the sun came out they where gone in seconds, out over the sea as far as you could see with the scope as well. Also a good flock of SWIFT put in an appearance well up in the sky over Gunton Cliff. The next bird was a new run SANDLING who was fiddling around with the TURNSTONES and I also had a pair of RINGED PLOVER fly through as well as a single OYSTERCATCHER.
