Little materialised regardless of promising circumstances very first thing. Ringing in Millcombe mustered a one of many three singing Willow Warbler, 6 Chiffchaff and singles of Swallow, Whitethroat and re-trap Dunnock. Two Noticed Flycatcher occupied the highest of the Valley and the Kestrel pair are continuously recorded round Quarter Wall Copse. Shock report of the day goes to a late Ring Ouzel alongside the East Sidelands south of Brazen Ward, reported by a visitor. Two Cormorant have been logged, involving an immature on Pondsbury and a chicken monitoring south alongside Benjamin’s Chair. The long-staying Purple Heron was recorded at each Pondsbury and Punchbowl Valley and the Hooded Crow continues to do the rounds, seen initially in Lighthouse Discipline early morning earlier than shifting to Tillage Discipline and later dropping down the east coast at Quarter Wall.
