Sculthorpe Moor - 6th September 2026

Only 16 birds for 6 hours on site, with the added factor of a couple of rain showers that we were able to work around, thanks to the radar feature on Ventusky. Nothing had been showing, on the same weather app, for precipitation. The wind had sufficiently strengthened to make us start taking down by 11am.

We didn't get the numbers of Chiffchaffs that we'd hoped for, but surprisingly got a juvenile Grasshopper Warbler with a lot of body feathers still in pin, and a Treecreeper from the middle of the reeds.
