Cracking weekend at Gib,

Not much to add to the above list, except reeling Grasshopper Warbler at the base of Mill Hill on Sat 12th at dusk

That Grasshopper Wbl has been most reliable all spring! There was less about today:
Arctic Skua - 8+
Gannet - odd ones only
Sandwich Terns - 200+ on beach also Little and Common
Whimbrel - 7
Spotted Redshank - 1ad
Black-tailed Godwit - 32 Icelandics in good plumage
Montagues Harrier - 2 ( 2y female which has been regular for 10 days and is moulting and another female )
Scaup - 2 1y drakes

It was good to see so many birders about today - does anybody have anything to add.

cheers Edmund
