Then a steady mix of vis mig from my VP. But quite early on I spotted a raptor over the sea seemingly coming towards me; however, a corvid (raven?) intercepted it and harassed it to the point it just flew due west (very reminiscent of the movements of the HB me and the bro had last year). On closer inspection the bird in question was a marsh harrier.
Record shots - marsh harrier
An hour later another highlight materialised: a Lapland bunting seen and heard came over the ridge of the warren; must be a few years since me and the bro had one on the other side of the chine on WHD; and it gave a serin like call punctuated with the chu like sound - more harsher and curt than a snow bunt. Great to hear.
A ring ouzel landed just below my VP.
ringo - pitched in
fieldfare - over the warren
woodpigeon - modest numbers
Dartford - showy
painted lady - WHD
