Lands End, Cornwall 26/10/18

Ever since returning from my travels I haven't been too fussed about going for the Grey Catbird. However, since being back, birding around the patch has been truly awful and so on Thursday I cracked, and arranged with ADW & RJF for us to twitch the Catbird. Despite oversleeping we arrived to a very cold and windy Lands End, and over a two hour period obtained six brief views of the Grey Catbird. It then somehow took eight hours to drive home.

Closer to home, on Monday 22nd two Ring Ouzels were at Foxhole Farm, and Seaford Head on this day produced the Willow Warbler and a Swallow flying west. Other then this, the Head has only produced daily sightings of Bramblings and Redpolls, whilst seven Corn Buntings and a Yellowhammer flew west on the 23rd.

A look at the Newhaven Harbour Gull roost on the 27th only produced two Mediterranean Gulls.
