Western Bluebird - Irvine California 25/05/2025

03 April, 2017

A fine bright morning before the sea mist moved through produced the first Sedge Warbler from the back of the golf course, and a Swallow through. Proceedings took a turn for the worst despite good coverage producing just 4 Reed Bunting, several of both Chiffchaff and Blackcap in each wooded area, 2 Grey Partridge and a Little Egret. Offshore, 2 Great-crested Grebe, 7 Sandwich Tern east and 11 Oystercatcher.

Not a great deal happening again in promising conditions. A Red Kite drifted over the patch,  supported singletons included Peregrine, Firecrest, Cetti's Warbler, and Wheatear, along with  9  Chiffchaff and 6 Blackcap.
