The first Spotted Flycatcher (left) of the year arrived overnight as the wind backed to the south east in the early hours and was found in the SK trap, but as expected there were few other migrants this late in spring. A Whitethroat warbling in sub-song was elusive and may have been the bird present yesterday although yesterdays small number of Wheatears were completely absent. Swallows continue to pass in ones and twos and there are still 3 Whimbrel and a Little Egret on the shore. Ringed :- 1 Spotted Flycatcher.(DB,CJ+VB,PSW,SRW,TGW) [599-38] photo CJ
