A similar story each day since Tuesday this week, bar the strong winds on the 23rd where a Seawatch from the Bay was highlighted by a single pale phase Arctic Skua plus a Male Marsh harrier & 2 Kestrels arrived in off. Most days have seen presumably the same juv Merlin, up to 4 Ring Ouzels across the patch, Hirundines more obvious today with c75 House Martin and 30 Swallow. Firecrests round 10 per day and Redpoll & Siskin dominating Finch numbers, today with the addition of 3 Groups of Crossbill, a Woodlark, a 1st winter Caspian Gull all SW.
Ive been including the woods up to and around the Bleriot Memorial this week in my walks, adding extra mileage and until today only hearing the Yellow browed warbler thats been up there since before I got back from Scilly. Today, along with Phil and Jack I got some nice views of it. Love seeing these birds close to home.
