On arrival at 07:30 we walked down the front to Hope Point where we had our first migrant, a Lesser Whitethroat. At the undercliff we had a Firecrest but little else. After receiving a call from Richard about a Yellow-browed Warbler he had near his house we continued there but were unable to find the bird. From Kingsdown we walked over the golf course to the Rough and then via the Farm to the Paddock and the Monument. On the way we had two Grey Wagtails, a Stonechat, one Lesser Whitethroat, eight Blackcaps, a total of 43 Chiffchaffs, three Firecrests and probably 15 Goldcrests.
Later we heard from Gerald that he had a Merlin in of the sea being hassled by an Arctic Skua.
Gerald, Richard, Phil, Jack.
