Day Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 "http://www.chog.org.uk/Images/image15" alt="image15"> scorchio August 1st A really hot day saw an equally decent selection of birds. At around 7:00 an Osprey cut through the area to the east, while an hour earlier a flock of 26 Crossbill headed over Wick in the same direction. A couple of Wood Sandpiper came up from the Wooden Bridge area and a Green Sandpiper left Priory Marsh to settle in Central Marsh, with other waders recorded coming courtesy of: a Spotted Redshank west, likewise 11 Greenshank, including a flock of seven, and a Grey Plover; 3 Common Sandpiper, 12 Whimbrel, 2 Sanderling and 3 Ringed Plover. There was also a surprising number of passerine migrants about Stanpit, not least a Wood Warbler in the North Scrubs along with 10 or so Willow Warbler. Elsewhere about the marsh, there was a juvenile Cuckoo, a Grasshopper Warbler, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 70 Sedge Warbler and a Yellow Wagtail. Aerially, 85 Sand Martin headed into the easterly wind and 37 Common Tern went with the breeze; also a further 17 Common Tern settled and at least 3 Little Tern around. Finally, five or so Bearded Tit were logged. Yeah yeah bird man but was there any trains about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no news from Hengistbury or Wick, while Stanpit could muster just 4 Greenshank, 2 Common Sandpiper, 3 Black-tailed Godwit, 8 Ringed Plover and up to 30 Dunlin. In addition, Bearded Tit were heard on Priory Marsh, a Hobby hunted the local Sand Martin and South Marsh hosted a constant twenty or so loafing Mediterranean Gull, although there was a steady turnover of birds meaning a good deal more were actually involved. mozza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
