Not surprisingly observation
at Crook Ness started early this morning. The Icterine Warbler showed first at 06.00 then again at 06.30 but it
wasn’t until around 07.10 that the Eastern
Subalpine Warbler revealed itself
for the first time this morning. Both birds showed occasionally for most of the
day and the Eastern Subalpine Warbler was even heard singing at times. Other
species recorded in the Long Nab area today included a male Redstart around the
manure heap at Cliff Top House, a Honey
Buzzard flew over to the west at 11.40, this evening a Spotted
Flycatcher was at Cliff Top House and the Wheatear was still in the cover crop
strip.
Other sightings today included
a Jay flying west over Crossgates; a Common Sandpiper on Rudda Road Flash and a
Hobby flying north over Cornelian Bay at 13.05.
Last but not least today 4
Nightjars were heard calling near the Falcon Inn late this evening.
