Wheatears are appearing just about anywhere on the peninsula, though they are easier to see on the beach, say there is no improvement to the sea watching.
Willow warblers have started arriving in reasonable numbers, this one was basking in the sun by the Long Pits, also there to be found are good numbers of Common and Lesser Whitethroats, Reed and Sedge Warblers, also a few Blackcaps and Garden Warbler, today also brought in 4 Spotted Flycatchers and a Redstart.

Swallows gathering on the road at Dengemarsh this evening. All week 1,000s of Sand Martins have been moving South and West through the peninsula, this afternoon 43 Swifts flew south out to sea, hopefully not the last I'll see this year.
