Great Grey Shrike seen around the horse paddock and nearby fields this morning, showing well until 12:30 at least when it was flushed by a overhead  drone. 2 Dartford Warbler in the Tamerisk on Climping Beach west of the car park, and at  least 2 Short-eared Owl still in the area.  Small numbers of finches still on the move east including 2 Brambling, 1 of which was lingering around Atherington pools. 7 Grey Partridge and a large flock of Linnet totalling c250 seen in the fields.

 Late news of a Lesser Whitethroat and a presumed Saker Falcon with jessies.
