It was a warm one today and although it clouded over later in the day, it actually made it easier to spot ‘fly over’ birds which paid dividends for a friend of ours here at the charity, Sean Walls from Biotrack, who had 4 White Stork fly over West Morden, just north of the harbour. There were way more Swallow and Sand Martin passing over today too and with these easterlies set to continue until next week, let there be many more. There have still been 2 Osprey sighted in the harbour and with a bit of detective work today we’ve managed to get to the bottom of the conundrum and will be posting an update tomorrow. At Upton CP 3 late Wigeon remained and 2 Cetti’s Warbler were along the shoreline with an Egyptian Goose also in Holes Bay.
