Not much action from us over the bank holiday weekend, but we got the traditional passage of migrants through the field behind us, with Whinchat, many Spotted Flycatchers, a Pied Flycatcher (briefly) Whitethroats, Lesser Whitethroats, Willow Warblers, the occasional flyover Yellow Wagtail, as well as all three Hirundines, but strangely no Redstarts yet. A Reed Warbler in the pond today was a pleasant surprise.
A bad shoulder limited my activity over last weekend, but we managed to get up to Cissbury and picked up not much, with the only notable on-foot birds outside my limited range. A return to work on Monday changed everything with a Black Terns in Shoreham and a Wryneck at Cissbury while I was at work. Grrrr!
Fortunately, the Wryneck was found again today and I was able to dash up after work. The bird showed for about 10 s shortly after I arrived, but after that I just had glimpses of it: crazily elusive. That 10 s were enough for a few pictures, though.
