Tim Davis, Tony Taylor, Richard Taylor, Mike Jones, Martin Thorne and
Annie Alford were all on the island today and saw up to 11
Tree Sparrows
on the main track between the stonecrusher gate into SW Field and Old
Light. The flock was quite flighty, being frequently disturbed by
non-birding day-trippers, but always returned to the same general area. A few of Tim's photos are below. Tim also reports a
Whinchat (on juncus and the fence-line around Quarters pond) and a juvenile
Yellow Wagtail (next to and on top of the water tanks). Annie saw six to eight late
Swifts over the High Street outside the shop – a very good count for so late in the month. There was no sign of the
Rose-coloured Starling.
