Kev - you forgot the Jack Snipe,Cuckoo and Firecrest! Plus Tim ringed 1 of the Barred Wbls later this afternoon. Redstarts and Wheatears continued to arrive to 17:00 and as I left the Obs 5 Wheatears and a Whinchat were sitting on the Obs fence!!
Only Kev, John Shaugnessy and Myself with the whole of Gib to bird today - where was everybody on such a promising day?
It may just be worth visiting the coast again tomorrow - I am.

Thanks Ed - I did not know about the whinchat or firecrest.

Tim also ringed a yellow-browed warbler this evening.

Dave Hitchin rang me to say he had found a great grey shrike at Wainfleet -1km down the Wainflleet Sea Lane off the A52 - good views form the JCB apparently - better than my tractor list for today!
