Sarah and Libby found a couple early-flowering Green-winged Orchids on Orcombe Point yesterday. This is the best I could do but it won't be too long before the fields of Orcombe are once again purple and pink with hundreds of this stunning flower. Again very few birds with just 6 Chiffchaffs, 3 Willow Warblers, 2 Cirl Buntings, 1 Swallow, 8 Sandwich Terns, 9 Woodpigeons, 2 Blackcaps, 1 Meadow Pipit, 2 Shelduck and 1+ Goldcrest noted.
Continuing the recent run of sightings, this male Cirl Bunting sang for a bit and then, after a quick feed, flew off inland. The second bird, a female-type, was seen briefly some distance away, before flying east. There's still some hope that they may breed this year but both birds may well have just been on route to somewhere else...
