A
nother nice, calm day with a light easterly breeze but
the low cloud and fog was always lingering, occasionally drifting in and out; a
few scarcities were unearthed through the day with an Icterine Warbler trapped at the Obs first
thing and a Wood Warbler in Ancum Willows while the Eastern Subalpine Warbler was still around the Obs – when it was re-trapped it
had put on 1.3g from when it was originally in the bar, not bad for a bird that
only weighs 10g to start with!
Other
totals included a Heron, a Whimbrel, a Collared Dove, a Short-eared Owl, 3
House Martins, 2 Robins, 5 Redstarts, a Whinchat, 7 Sedge Warblers, 8 Lesser
Whitethroats, a Whitethroat, 4 Garden Warblers, 4 Chiffchaffs, 3 Willow
Warblers, 2 Spotted Flycatchers, 2 Tree Sparrows and single Chaffinch and
Brambling.
