Just like buses, you wait a couple of weeks for a Yellow-browed Warbler and then two come along at once. This morning a second in two days was ringed up on Ballard along with 26 Chiffchaff and 23 Blackcap. With the wind swinging westerly thrush passage dropped off and only 4 each of Redwing and Song Thrush were logged over Lytchett Heath. At Holton Pools a Marsh Harrier drifted in front of the hide and at Shipstal the Spoonbill flock stood at 32.
