CISSBURY RING: Reed Warbler, 28 Willow Warblers and two Garden Warblers among the birds trapped for ringing today. Also Mistle Thrush. Val Bentley
HIGHDOWN; My first two Tree Pipits buzzed high overhead, unseen in the clear skies, while on the ground there were just singles of Willow Warbler, Garden Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat. 45 Swallows were made up by a couple of main groups, one of which was clouding around a Sparrowhawk. The wooded area held a brood of Goldcrests, a couple of Treecreepers and a Nuthatch, while the grassland was charmed by around 60 Goldfinches, with smaller numbers of Linnets and Greenfinches thrown in. A young Buzzard cried in the distance and an adult was noted, while a Kestrel and a Canada Goose were among other birds heard. David Campbell
SALVINGTON: Greater black-backed Gull over south, first seen here for a while. Nick Bond
SPLASHPOINT: Wheatear still. Bt
WIDEWATER LAGOON: Four Little Egrets. SOS
