Heard another vocal 'acro' this morning (26/06), along Bonchurch Road (north side of Nansen Hill, Ventnor Downs) at around 08:45am that immediately sounded very 'Blyth's' like. And the more I listened, the mimicry, scalic fluty-type notes, interwoven: it became very apparent it was one. Sound recorded and shared a vid. 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 out in the open. 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.
