Info Post
A bit of steady migration in the last couple of weeks with up to 20 sedge warblers on several days, a steady stream of Willow warblers and a few Chiffchaff. Yesterday probably 30+ Wheatear but could have been many more passing through, and a couple of Spotted Flycatchers to add to the few singles in the last week or so. On the wader front a single Purple Sandpiper on the Dragons Teeth where there used to be up to 20 and a Greenshank but rather few curlew (max 24 but mostly up to 6) and just a few Whimbrel records. Those Canada Geese are back roosting with 40 leaving on Friday at dawn but just a single Mallard looking forlorn at the North Puddle (it doesn't qualify as a pond at the moment!!!).

Other highlights - a Kestrel, up to 4 Chough, well over 120 GBB's (40 at the lighthouse eating baby shearwaters on friday morning), a few Peregrine sightings, a few Whitethoats and a second brood of Moorhen at the Well. Oh - and the Robins started arriving on Monday 23rd with at least 6 resident by friday.
