Local Redstart

Generally slim pickings locally but putting in a bit more effort is probably required. Rewards such as this female type common redstart along the track south of Weston Hills makes it all worthwhile.

Reculver - common migrants

Image
Dropped in at Reculver in between A28 breeding bird surveys just to see what was around. In the past, this site has provided me with desert wheatear and baird's sandpiper so it was worth a look. Not walking very far from the car park on a warm but windy late afternoon, a few common migrants were feeding close to the path. A couple of scruffy juvenile whinchat , wheatear , and a male stonechat made for pleasant walk along the seaward track.
