Willow Warbler Climping Beach

Decided to do the Climping/Atherington area this morning. The set-aside area was pretty quiet and numbers of warblers were generally low, but it picked up a bit on the beach. Highlights were a Marsh Harrier high up and offshore, thought it was coming in for a while but eventually went higher and drifted west past Poole place & Elmer. Also I reckon 3 Wheatears along the beach.(OM)
