On a sunny but cold day Nigel had a Chiffchaff at Kingsdown and Richard one at Hope Point, our first migrants of the year. Other than that there were two Ravens, three Buzzards, a Stonechat, three Corn Buntings and a Firecrest around the area.
The Hume's Warbler is still in the Farm Wood although it is, as usual, extremely difficult to see.

On the day after the 'big storm' there were two Bramblings on Kingsdown Leas and two at Hope Point, also a Red Kite over the Golf Course, that flew off in a north-westerly direction, and two Ravens over the cliff-top.
Three of us met at the Farm Wood and in an hour or so the Hume's Warbler was heard but only seen very briefly. It has now been present for 59 days.
Our first butterfly of the year was a Peacock by the Freedown.

Other than the Hume's Warbler, that still remains in the farm wood, we only had a couple of Ravens harassing a Buzzard over the Freedown.

Although the weather was atrocious we met in the Bay for a hopeful seawatch from 08-30 to 10-30 and had 144 Red-throated Divers (of which 94 were in one loose flock), at least 100 Gannets, 13 Brent Geese, 30 Auks, 45 Kittiwakes and countless Cormorants both up and down Channel.
On the grass in front of us were a couple of Rock Pipits and a Grey Wagtail.
The Hume's Warbler was not seen today but was present yesterday.
Nigel, Jack.
