1st September 2018

Bright sunny conditions with light winds were not conducive to the arrival of migrants and it was hard work at times today, however we ended up with reasonable numbers, in part due to Richard's coverage of Otty Bottom. Day totals included; three Wheatears, three Whinchats, three Redstarts, 34 Blackcaps, seven Lesser Whitethroats, 10 Common Whitethroats, three Reed Warblers, one Grasshopper Warbler, four Chiffchaffs, four Willow Warblers, and 38 Yellowhammers. Overhead there were two Tree Pipits and two Yellow Wagtails while Richard had a Dotterel fly over the village. Gerald, Jack, Richard & Brendan
