Sunday 10th August: Lesser Whitethroat
From private e-mails:
Dunlin 10-11 (Ads & juv)
Ringed Plover 11 (Ads & juv)
Golden Plover (1 in summer pl – departed abruptly early on)
Redshank 1
Little Egret – only 2 seen
Yellow Wagtail – at least 2
1 Wheatear (almost certainly the same bird as yesterday, showing in the same area)
1 Green Sandpiper
2 Common Sandpiper
1 Hobby
1 Lesser Whitethroat
6 Linnet
1 Snipe
Note - the lesser whitethroat is the first sighting for Port Meadow that I know of for this year; it's not a breeding warbler in Burgess Field NR.
