 Chilly start and initially quiet around the bushes on the golf course early morning, but plenty of birds moving with a couple of Crossbill heard overhead and 6 summer plumaged Black-tailed Godwit went east. No sign of any Flycatchers today but a Redstart in the camp site was a nice surprise.

Report of an Osprey and a RN Parakeet over Ford airfield this morning. (HR)

Good variety around the Climping/Atherington area this morning, and with rafts of Gulls offshore, the early warning signal paid dividends when they all alighted, producing an Osprey, tracking slowly west.
