A good ringing day with a light easterly and patches of cloud moving across the sky; I managed 22 new birds through the morning which is a bit better than the last few days although the quality wasn't as high as yesterday!   Birds included a Sand Martin, a Robin, a Song Thrush, a Reed Warbler, 5 Whitethroats, a Lesser Whitethroat, an Icterine Warbler, 5 Blackcaps and a Red-backed Shrike.

The first Song Thrush in the garden since 18th May

 

Sightings in the area today included a couple of Penduline Tits heard over the tip and a singing Red-breasted Flycatcher at Frisenfelt from Louis while a Mistle Thrush in the garden was the first for a long time.

 

There seems to be some differing opinions on the Harrier seen yesterday; here are a couple of pictures by Mathias Blicher Bjerregard.
