A single male Whinchat was along the fence by the quarry pool this afternoon.
Plenty of Wheaters in the area, I counted at least 8 individuals.
Grasshopper Warbler reeling briefly in the field above the quarry.
Whitethroat below the quarry.

Cheers,

Steve.

Had hoped that the sun would continue to shine, mostly because I knew the birds would disappoint, and they didn't let me down! Apart from the first willow warblers of the year (probably 3), and a group of 9 ravens, it was totally forgettable.

A red kite was seen from the quarry area in the semi-distance just beyond Gun Farm, probably right on the border. Other than that, it was very low-key stuff, with chiffchaffs the only migrants recorded. Still, when a curlew does a fly-by songflight just 30m in front of you, it's still uplifting.
