With the wind being from the NW, our best wind, we were not surprised on arrival that there were lots of birds. However we did not expect to see quite as many as 295 warblers.Totals recorded were eight Reed Warblers, a Sedge Warbler, 96 Whitethroats, 43 Lesser Whitethroats, six Blackcaps, a Garden Warbler, 19 Chiffchaffs and 121 Willow Warblers. There was also a Redstart which has been in the Freedown for a week and two Wheatears at Pond Lane. Phil, Richard, Nigel, Jack.with some additions by Tony and Rob
