Pied Flycatcher male
Pied Flycatcher female
Redstart
Wheatear
Conditions were ideal this morning with a 10mph NE wind, 1005mB barometer, 5 celcius, 75% humidity and plenty of low level cloud bringing drizzle most of the morning. 6:30am to 12:50pm: Birds turning up and leaving throughout the period making counting difficult especially the Willow Warblers. Gull numbers picked up from mid-morning and unusually were heading east instead of west. They came in off the sea over the down and out towards the Mendips where multiple sample counts came out at 28 a minute. Counts - 100 Willow Warbler, 25 Chiffchaff, 25 Blackcap, 5 Wheatear, 14 Redstart, 3 Pied Flycatcher, 1 Cuckoo. On the move 1 Merlin, 26 Swallow, 7 House Martin, 4 Tree Pipit.
