Despite the reduced nets the morning produced 37 new birds of 10 species, mostly Lesser Whitethroat (8) and Willow Warbler (17).
Bosse arrived on the first ferry and spent the morning migration watching at the Obs and at Bredmar before heading north for the afternoon. Will include any notable sightings he has later.
Will be the three at the Obs tonight: Chris, Kay & Bosse.
