A clear night with a large, shining moon meant few additions to yesterday's list made it to our shores, however at least one of the
Red-
breasted Flycatchers remained at Avalanche Road with a second brief sighting at Barleycrates bringing their tally back up to two. A
Great White Egret at Ferrybridge was the one quality arrival (...despite their increase elsewhere they're still a high value Portland rarity!), but
Dartford Warbler and
Ring Ouzel also made it onto the day totals, as did 2 fly-by
Tree Sparrows and late-ish singles of
Whitethroat and
Spotted Flycatcher. Finches put in another big display with
Chaffinches the most prominent passage bird (although the
Linnet flock in the Crown Fields has swollen to over 250); the capture of two
Greenfinches was also notable these days.
