2 Whimbrel were on the north shore between 3.50-4.10pm when they flew off north west. A Garden Warbler was reported in the south east corner this morning also 6 Sedge Warbler, 3 Reed Warbler and 5 Whitethroat were noted. 6 Swift were overhead and a single Common Sandpiper was at the west end. Common Tern have increased to 6, 5 Goldeneye and 3 Wigeon were still present.
An interesting Phylloscopus Warbler was in a garden 250 yards east of the main car park with a song resembling Iberian Chiffchaff. Plumage and jizz was more like a Willow Warbler except for this strange song. No contact call was heard, but my gut feeling is either Willow Warbler or a hybrid. |
