Departing thrushes were in evidence today with at least 35 Redwing and a Fieldfare at Ocean View and a total of 52 Redwing moving south through South Dykes. Summer visitors included a Redstart at Ocean View and a singing Blackcap in South Dykes (where there were also 4 singing Chiffchaff). Two Wheatears were at Bempton.
A Grey Plover flew over one observers house in the village but apart from a remaining Black Redstart on the Outer Head and three Common Buzzards in the North Dykes area the day was fairly uneventful.
Discussion with regard to the Chiffchaff in Holmes Gut on Saturday, including listening to a recording of its call, has begun to come to the conclusion that it is a Chiffchaff and not a Sibe.
