This Dartford Warbler was feeding in Gorse on Orcombe Point late this afternoon. It could feasibly be last November's bird that has overwintered in the area, or it might be a migrant. We've had Dartford Warbler on Orcombe in March before. The warm brown-toned mantle indicates that it's an immature bird but whether it's male or female I'm not sure. The only other birds of note on this afternoon's brief visit were 2 Meadow Pipit and a single Chiffchaff.
Yesterday Orcombe produced 8+ Meadow Pipit, 3 Pied Wagtail, 1 Stonechat, 1 Firecrest, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Siskin, 9 Linnet, 8 Greenfinch, 9 Goldfinch, 4 Jackdaw and 1 Curlew.
