After the optimism of early autumn, reality returned today with few migrants to report. The only migrants noted were four Willow Warblers, two Reed Warblers and a single Yellow Wagtail. 36 Whitethroats were counted but in the absence of many other warblers, the assumption must be that these are local birds, a view reinforced by the fact that most seemed to be in family groups. A few Swallows were heading south in small groups with at least 26 recorded along with two Sand Martins.

Hey guys, I'm going camping in Kingsdown next week, I wonder if you would be kind enough to give me a good route to go birding in the area, coming from the campsite. Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteHi Rom, you are best to walk along the cliff top from Kingsdown to The Monument early in the morning. Look around the gated area just behind The Monument as well. There wasn’t much in there today, but we had good numbers of Wheatears a bit further inland. Feel free to message me on Twitter @HeadingRichard if you want more info.
DeleteThanks Richard, I will be there on Thu morning.
