Records for Tues 23/08/2022

Climping – Atherington: It was uncannily quiet around the set-aside and Bread Lane area with barely a bird to be seen and just a couple of Blackcaps ‘tacking’ so I moved on to Bailiffscourt. Thankfully there was much more activity here – mostly around the fir trees and adjacent hedgerows again – with 3+ Spotted Flycatchers, a male Redstart, six Blackcaps, three Whitethroats, six Willow Warblers and at least two Chiffchaffs. Other sightings included Mistle Thrush, three Green Woodpeckers, two Great Spotted Woodpeckers and a Jay. (OM)
