Calm and overcast first thing with light rain moving in
at lunchtime which persisted through until late afternoon; it felt really
promising, that you could bump into anything out in the field, the pick of the
new birds were (in keeping with the rest of east coast today), a male Bluethroat
near Rue while the Eastern Subalpine Warbler was
still around the Obs and the 5 Dotterel were still at Burray.
Other
migrant totals included a Sparrowhawk, 4 Golden Plover, 5 Whimbrel, a Rock
Pipit, 3 Robins, 6 Sedge Warblers, 3 Lesser Whitethroats, 4 Garden Warblers, 3
Blackcaps, 4 Chiffchaff, 5 Willow Warblers, 2 Spotted Flycatchers, a Pied
Flycatcher, the 3 Tree Sparrows still, 2 Bramblings including a pristine, full
black-headed male and a Common Redpoll.
