There was a definite autumnal feel in the air as I walked down Zig Zag Road at around 7am this morning. There was a small tit flock at The Grove with a couple of Phyloscs - so far this autumn this area (so good in late autumn last year) has been devoid of birds).
Walking on through town, two willow warblers were calling from the Winter Gardens. This area looks fantastic but never gets anything, so these were unexpected.
The East Cliff tamerisks contained c.5 willow warblers, and two lesser whitethroats! As I walked along the path here, a probable pied fly flew up from the cliff face and buried itself in the gardens, with no further sign. The lesser throats and a couple of Phyloscs made off west from the tamerisk gardens, first into the elder clump behind Cowlease bench, then into the Glen, then off towards Wheelers.
