A rather slow morning that brought 13 birds' data to the record sheet. Joined by ERB, we were pleased to catch the first Whitethroat of the year and spent much of the morning talking about how good this little copse should be in the autumn, at an elevated position, there is plenty of cover just a short flight from the coastal margins. Added to that a wealth of flying insects and surrounding arable fields with set aside with birds in mind.
