Heard another vocal 'acro' this morning (26/06), along Bonchurch Road (north side of Nansen Hill, Ventnor Downs) at 08:45am that immediately sounded very 'Blyth's' like. And the more I listened, the mimicry and scalic fluty-type notes etc made it apparent it was one. Sound recorded and shared a vid via the news group: Iain Outlaw soon joined me and got to hear it too. Mostly concealed in the downland scrub - but I may have seen it briefly perched in the open. It remained in situ for at least a couple of hours or so (and reported again in the evening).
30/06: Another singing (common) Reed Warbler near Luccombe Village. At least one pair of Swallows have probably bred in the farm area (often seen overhead). Swifts (c50) over Ventnor.
