The number of warblers has gradually dropped but we still had three Reed Warblers, six Lesser Whitethroats, 21 Whitethroats, seven Chiffchaffs and 26 Willow Warblers. Other migrants were six Wheatears,a Hobby and a young Marsh Harrier that came in off the sea. On Kingsdown Leas we had amazing numbers of butterflies with over 300 Peacocks, 75 Red Admirals, seven Small Tortoishells, 15 Brimstones,15 Brown Argus, 15 Small Blues and 200 Common Blues.
