25 October - Little Bunting and Reed Warbler
Tim Jones reports a Little Bunting on Castle Hill first thing. An Acrocephalus warbler in the gully below St
Helen's Copse that we tentatively identified as a European (Common) Reed Warbler
after hours of observation and lots of photos! Tufted Duck still there,
plus one Snow Bunting. A glimmer of visible migration with 150 Chaffinches, but an
all-island, all-day, thrush total of 2 Blackbird & 2 Song Thrush! Out at sea
off East Side, 500 Kittiwake, 2 Bonxie, 2 Arctic Skua, 1 Pomarine Skua and 1 Balearic Shearwater. Few
Chiffchaffs, Goldcrests and 2 Blackcaps. No Swallows.
