Blustery

The weather has turned rather windy, with grey cloud blown in by a sou-wester and drizzle on and off

Had a smart female redstart and five odd phyloscs in the garden first thing. Willow warblers have been a daily fixture over the last couple of weeks, and two launched themselves south from the garden over the roof-tops. Clearly there's an urge to keep moving.

Up on the downs, an invisible yellow wag flew south over The Rim calling. Five whitethroats and c.30 phyloscs livened up the bowl. Another birder reported a whinchat, three wheatears and two redstarts.
