12th August

A small arrival of Willow Warblers was evident this morning with 32 counted, mostly around the Paddock. 2 Reed Warblers were enticed out from cover at Hope Point. Other warbler numbers included 24 Whitethroats, nine Lesser Whitethroats, nine Blackcaps plus a single Chiffchaff.

Overhead 19 Swifts flew down channel over the sea and Greenshank and Green Sandpiper were heard but not seen. Three Yellow Wagtails and a Tree Pipit went SW.

The Whinchat was still along the clifftop along with four Wheatears

Yellowhammers seem to be everywhere this autumn
