The place was crawling with Chiffchaffs this morning with a total of 575 counted by the team, a new site record beating the previous record of 303 in September 2009.
As is often the case on big Chiffchaff days the supporting cast was a little disappointing with nothing particularly unusual. However there was a notable increase in species like Reed Bunting (13) Blackcap (51), and Stonechat (12). Other birds of note included a Reed Warbler, two Lesser Whitethroats, two Wheatears and a single Short-eared Owl
