Just a quick one tonight as I've been a bit busy. Highlights from the weekend, included Richard's Pipits (2), Red-breasted Flycatcher and more Yellow-browed Warbler and a Firecrest. A smart Little Stint and Jack Snipe were nice and possibly the rarest bird I saw was a Marsh Tit, in its local context! Saw a few more 'winter' migrants such as Goldcrest, Brambling and Song Thrush but the weather was just too nice and birds were presumably just going straight over. Also had a few southbound migrants such as Whinchat, Wheatear, Redstart, Pied Flycatcher, Garden Warbler, Common Whitethroat, Chiffchaff, Swallow etc.
Had a nice view of a Hobby in the village this am, flew in and sat on a snag in a hedge and let me get within 40 m! Chiffchaff in full song too.
