| A better
morning today, although the only birds of note were noted
almost immediately on getting out of the car, with two Common
Crossbills through high north-west at 07:00h. A Common
Sandpiper was another excellent record for here,
remaining at Eakring Flash till appearing to fly off at
08:10h. Numbers of warblers moving through are slowly increasing, mainly Whitethroats and Willow Warblers. |
