Eighteen Red Kites today - the majority from the back garden and all but one west. I also recorded my first Swifts of 2025 with at least 6 birds whizzing around.
My first Garden Warbler of the year was singing (but only showing briefly) from clifftop scrub on Orcombe Point. Otherwise just 9 Sandwich Terns offshore and at least 23 Linnets.
Off the Imperial rec - 220+ Black-headed Gulls, 1+ Common Gull and a first-summer Mediterranean Gull. Mudbank - 1 Common Sandpiper, 55 Whimbrel, 11 Bar-tailed Godwits 6 Great Crested Grebes, 3 Mallard and 4 Sandwich Terns. A Cuckoo was singing on Bicton Common this morning.
27/4 - Orcombe Point - 2 Great Northern Divers and 2 Grey Wagtails. Bystock - the pair of Tufted Ducks still and a migrant Sedge Warbler in song. Mudbank - 17 Whimbrel and 18 Bar-tailed Godwits.
