Wet, low cloud and drizzle welcomed the new day , it
brightened up into the afternoon but the fog was always lingering there or
thereabouts, drifting in and out through the day; we kept most of yesterday’s
birds with a nice arrival of common migrants thrown in to the mix, the
highlights comprised the Eastern Subalpine Warbler still
around the Obs, the 5 Dotterel still at Burray, a new Bluethroats trapped
at the Obs in the evening and an adult summer White-billed Diver which flew close inshore past The Lurn.
Other
totals of note consisted of a pair of Garganey, a Sparrowhawk, a Whimbrel, a
Common Sandpiper, a Collared Dove, a House Martin, a Tree Pipit, 4 Robins, 10
Redstarts, 6 Whinchat, 31 Wheatears, 10 Sedge Warblers, 10 Lesser Whitethroats,
a Whitethroat, 5 Garden Warbler, 2 Blackcaps, 6 Chiffchaffs, 7 Willow Warblers,
2 Spotted Flycatchers, 4 Pied Flycatchers, a Tree Sparrow and a Brambling
still.
