An early dog walk before the rain clamped down yielded a Quail by the 9th Tee on the Golf Course. The bird was heard for 10 minutes from 05.50 and appeared to be in the field adjacent to the Golf Course. Unfortunately it was never seen and there was no further sign before I had to head home 20 minutes later.
Later on Phil and Jack had three Reed Warblers, seven Lesser Whitethroats, 32 Whitethroats and 25 Willow Warblers. Also in the area were singles of Turnstone, Golden Plover and Raven.
Number of Yellowhammers seem to increase daily and we counted 28.
13th August
Phil had a walk around the area and had reasonable numbers of Warblers most notable being singles of Grasshopper Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler, Garden Warbler, Blackcap, 10 Lesser Whitethroats, 35 Whitethroats, two Chiffchaffs and four Willow Warblers. Other migrants were a Tree Pipit, a Common Redstart, a Whinchat and two Wheatears.
