Wednesday 22nd April

The first Garden Warbler of the year was in Dead Dolphin Wood, with three Wheatear and two Willow Warbler the only other grounded migrants. Overhead two Siskin, a Yellow Wagtailtwo Swift, 16 Swallow and three House Martin passed through. Elsewhere single Arctic and Common Tern and Great Northern Diver were offshore with single Dark and Pale-bellied Brent Geese in the estuary along with 20+ Whimbrel, 10 Grey Plover, 60 Dunlin, a Knot and 12 Bar-tailed Godwit, of which three flew E far offshore and were seen to pass Seaton (23 km away) later that evening (re. 'Axe Birding' blog). A late Water Rail squealed from the Main Pond.
