2nd June

A beautiful but quiet day with little to shout about; there were new Garden Warblers and Lesser Whitethroats seen while the two Curlew Sandpipers on Gretchen and the male Blue-headed Wagtail on Ancum remain.   Also noteworthy; after a report from an islander a late night excursion confirmed a singing Spotted Crake from an area of Iris near Hooking which has been heard for the last few nights - the first singing bird on the island in around ten years!
