An
interesting Chiffchaff at Stoupe Brow was a new discovery today, the bird was
very grey in colour and was giving an unusual call but after long deliberation
the observer withdrew his initial thoughts of it being a ‘Siberian’ Chiffchaff.
Also at Stoupe Brow today was a female Redstart.
At
Long Nab today 17 Shore Larks
remained in the field to the north of the Obs where there was also a Wheatear;
passing north were a Blue Fulmar, a Manx Shearwater, 9 Sandwich Terns, a White
Wagtail, 59 Sand Martins and a single Swallow whilst a female Redstart was seen
near Cliff Top House.
Records
from other locations in our area today included a Yellow Wagtail on the
roundabout at the bottom of Thornburgh Road, Seamer; 3 House Martins, 10
Swallows and several Blackcaps at Troutsdale Bridge; 9 singing Blackcaps on
Castle Hill; 2 Bramblings in a Crossgates Garden; 2 Swallows over Ganton and 3
on Folkton Carr.
