Morning murky conditions seemed to have dropped some migrants into the area and the areas first Lesser Whitethroat was found by NB at the pumping station and proved almost impossible to grab a record shot worthy of publishing but looking at the pics the bird appeared to be ringed ! 3 Wheatears were in the surrounding fields whilst a couple of Chiffchaff were on the east side, including a singing bird in the middle plantation. Meadow Pipits were trickling in overhead. 2 Song Thrush were also on the east side by middle plantation
The bird of the day goes to a splendid Ring Ouzel which was found mid-day by GM in fields to the east of Sea Lane opposite Sea Lane gardens. The bird performed well despite being pushed around a fair bit by dog walkers and a Song Thrush and 2 Redwings NB/GM
