The Yellow-browed Warbler was still present this evening, but pretty elusive and not very vocal, similar to when I found it yesterday. It seems to favour the hawthorns and sycamores and is in pretty much the exact same spot as the one I found in 2014.
Best bird of the day was a Ring Ouzel just below West Down Beacon and surprisingly, the first I have seen on the patch.
Other birds included Firecrest, 1 Wheatear, 1 Whinchat, Crossbill and Siskin over, House Martin, Swallow and good numbers of Song Thrush.
Also yesterday, I had an unseasonal count of 12 Sandwich Tern off the west cliffs. I was first alerted to them as they were calling a lot and then as I moved up the coast path they vanished!
