Wed 23rd Feb 22

Great to see that at least one of the Dartford Warblers is still with us, a good morning for Brain Combes with the 2 Yellowhammers being site year ticks.

I headed for the farm after Brian's message but could not dig out the Dartford, the only extras to his report below were a Peregrine over the edge of the wood and the Chaffinch flock increased to 50+ in the morning sunshine. 

On the main site 10 Blkwits & 2 Curlew were on the Approach Rd. marsh with loads of Gulls and 3 Purple Sands were on the Sluice rocks
