Sat outside as I had my breakfast and had a fly through PEREGRINE and then a real surprise as I caught site of a very small warbler fell out of the sky and into the Buddleia. I expected it to be a goldcrest, but as it flitted through it was obvious that this was not the case. It then called and shew itself through the bins it was a YELLOW BROWED WARBLER. Rather a late move on bird and only my second for the garden. But a good bird for the garden at any time of the year. It was gone in one minuet and flew of North.
Oval: A call in and it produced 3 YELLOW WAGTAIL and not much else.
C.O.S.W.: Walk out onto the cliff gave me my first NORTHERN WHEATEAR there being 3 male and one female in the field to right of track. Also 1 MEADOW PIPIT, 10 SAND MARTIN a pair of OYSTERCATHCHER. 1 BLACKCAP, 1 WILLOW WARBLER, 1 GREEN WOODPECKER.
Pathways: Regular call in today which gave four BLACKCAPS and also a first for the lake in a COMMON SANDPIPER. One of the young Mute Swans was rescued by the RSPCA last week as is making a good recovery. SAND MARTINS here with 3 birds. CHIFFCHAFF, TUFTED DUCK, MALLARD, LITTLE GREBE, GREENFINCH, ROBIN, WREN.
Common Sand Blackcap
