First thing this morning I assisted Barry Banson with the RSPB MV at Boulderwall Farm, a very good 60 species were identified mainly by Barry, but I am learning from him.
I then went to Hanson where 2 Wood Sandpipers and 4 Dunlin could be seen among several 100s of Lapwing. Overhead 100s of Sand Martins and Swallows with a single Swift were feeding very high.
A walk up to the pines saw c20 Willow Warblers, 6 Common Whitethroats, 4 Lesser Whitethroats, 8 Reed Warblers, 3 Sedge Warblers and 2 Cetti's Warblers.
At the north end of the trapping area 4 more Willow Warblers, 2 Common Whitethroats and a Cetti's Warbler.
