Lunch outing yesterday produced just Grey Heron, Kestrel, Jays and Buzzard from the car and the usual gaggle of Turnstones. Apparently the YBW wasn't seen nor heard so presumably moved on. Nice to catch up with Nick and his wife for the first time this year - they managed a nice head shot of a Grey Seal in the harbour devouring a flatfish - and Mark who I've not seen for a while.
Today, a brief non-birding trip up to Petersfield produced two nice point-blank Grey Wagtails in the quiet and sheltered Physic Garden and back at base a few more Shovelers present, now up to nine.
Globally, this article about long distance Willow Warbler migration was a good read.
