The comparatively smaller numbers of Willow Warblers here in spring have occasionally been a sore point for me, but this spring has so far been was an exception with today especially so! A conservative count of 29 between Langdon cliffs and South Foreland is my highest day count in spring (previously 15) . A foggy morning with a moderate SW breeze – goes to show how good poor visibility can be here.
Other notable birds were a Nightingale singing under the Radar at Langdon and a Common Redstart in the Valley, both picked out of the murk by Peter E who was out and about this morning.
More murk this evening and a light southerly tomorrow first thing…
