Willow Warbler
I had a 3hr walk around the Long Pits this morning where I encountered 21 Willow Warblers, 28 Common Whitethroats, 8 Lesser Whitethroats, 16 Reed Warblers, 2 Cetti's Warblers, singles of Garden Warbler and Sedge Warbler, a juvenile Cuckoo, 2 Marsh harriers, 3 Common Buzzards, 2 Sparrowhawks, a Great Spotted Woodpecker along with Blue & Great Tits, Song Thrush, Blackbirds etc. Nothing fantastic but at least there were migrants.
An early afternoon visit to the ARC saw just a Garganey, a Great White Egret and the Avocet family, rather disappointing.
At Burrowes Wood, Green and Common Sandpipers, Greenshank and LRPs all reported today.
Garden Warbler (Many thanks to Jacob for showing me this bird)
Juvenile Common Whitethroat
Sanderling that were roosting near the fishing boats this afternoon then disturbed by dog walker
Juvenile Yellow-legged Gull at the fishing boats this afternoon

Another victim of anglers debris
Twin-spotted Plume a first for my trap. A common moth so pretty sure due to my incompetence I must have overlooked it in the past.🙄
