Crossbills - Ventnor Downs

Tight crossbill flock (11) went over west today. Plus a siskin and cuckoo (heard). Increase in swallows. Hobby yesterday (April 30th), Nansen Hill then north at 09:25. 



Local breeders very active: mipit, linnets, dartfords, whitethroats etc

Just a fraction of the tons of large gulls feeding in Chale Bay (off Rocken End) - c600 mostly herring gulls, though distant (03/05/22). Two whimbrel (W) and three oystercatchers (E) was about it, but only casually watched.
