Climping - Atherington: I stayed around the Atherington area finding a variety of migrants in the bushes and trees, but there just wasn't time to cover more ground or even the beach in the restricted time of under two hours available to me today. My highlights were three Spotted Flycatchers, a Whinchat, a Lesser Whitethroat, six Whitethroats, at least 12 Blackcaps, eight Chiffchaffs and five Willow Warblers (including one singing in the sunshine)....and also a Hummingbird Hawkmoth!
