Pied Flycatcher (many thanks to Dave and Sheila Bunney for their hospitality)
A very quiet sea watch this morning( 5 Whimbrel and Bar-tailed Godwit the highlight), was brought to a merciful end by a spell of light rain on the peninsula which dropped plenty of migrants into the bushes. These included a Pied Flycatcher, a trilling Wood Warbler, Redstarts, Ring Ouzel, many Willow Warblers, Blackcaps, Garden Warblers, Lesser Whitethroats and Common Whitethroats to add to the many already present. There was still plenty of Wheatears and the dreaded Pheasant, a Red Kite flew through and 2 Brown Hares were in The Desert.
Surprisingly for the weekend there was a dearth of reports from the reserve so I'm guessing not much was seen there.
