For once a calm and bright morning has coincided with a day off, and so I made the most of the morning and completed my first circuit of the headland this month. Plenty of migrants this morning and lots of variety, though little was moving overhead bar the exception of a tight flock of four Snipe and quite a few Hirundines. The area was dominated by Common Whitethroats, though every patch of scrub seemed to hold a Reed Warbler, whilst the highlights consisted of a showy Nightingale and a Hobby.
