Finally caught up with one of the Redstarts on the peninsula today
There were a couple of Black Redstarts around the old lighthouse area along with Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff and a Blackcap, good numbers of Wheatears appeared today around the peninsula but most migrants were thin on the ground. The Great Northern Diver was still doing its thing on Burrowes today and 7 Avocets were on the hayfields.
Just a few of the 100s of images I took of the Greatstone Hoopoe today
