Hume's Leaf Warbler just about visible!
A call from Dave Scott alerted me to a probable Hume's Leaf Warbler at Lade, in the short time it took me to get there it was a definite. I only heard it call twice and had reasonable binocular views in the few minutes it was viewable, photographically it was challenging as the above image was the best I managed. The Red-necked Grebe just around the corner from the Warbler was more obliging.

From reports I have heard it seems that a few more Bewick Swans have arrived in the last couple of days including a family party with 2 young. The 2 Whooper Swans were also reported as still being present, though it looks like Tuesday will be the first time the weather will be calm enough for me to go out the back of Scotney.
Late afternoon on the reserve 4 Caspian Gulls came into the roost, an adult, a 2w and 2 x 1w also at least 1 adult Yellow-legged Gull. 8 Goosander came in 7 female with a drake per Pete Burness.
