Another lovely sunny day with the brisk head-breeze dropping a small but varied selection of new arrivals at the Bill, including 25
Spotted Flycatchers, 13
Wheatears, 10
Willow Warblers, 6
Chiffchaffs, 4 each of
Reed Warbler and
Sedge Warbler, and singles of
Yellow Wagtail and Redstart; visible passage was maybe not quite as strong as might have been hoped but did include a steady - up to 100/hour at times - throughput of Swallows, as well as a passing
Hobby at Blacknor. Despite the unhelpful wind direction 2 each of
Arctic Skua and
Pomarine Skua, and singles of
Red-throated Diver and
Great Northern Diver passed by off the Bill.
