The migrants keep coming, with today's grounded tally at the Bill including 10 each of
Willow Warbler and
Spotted Flycatcher, 8
Whinchats, 7
Reed Warblers, 4
Yellow Wagtails, 2 or 3 each of
Sedge Warbler,
Garden Warbler,
Blackcap and
Lesser Whitethroat, and singles of
Turtle Dove and
Mistle Thrush; overhead,
Swallows picked up a little but
Swifts and
House Martins hardly featured. The sea provided 3
Arctic Skuas but precious little else on the move.
The Scarce Blue-tailed Damselflies have clearly persisted for another year on the pond in the Crown Estate Field, with several on the wing there today © Mark Cutts:
