Thursday was a very birdy day with all sorts of goodies reported in The Ramble. The highlight for me was a very obliging Yellow-billed Cuckoo which sat in a tree for half an hour or so. Views were not perfect, but at least it didn't scarper as soon as it saw us. Lots of warblers still about, including the first female Blackpoll Warblers of spring, signifying the beginning of the end of migration season.
Friday was much quieter, with smaller numbers of all species. Quite a few Canada Warblers were at eye level on The Point, as was a single Wilson's Warbler. Top encounter of the human kind was with Peter Ericsson from Thailand! Nice to chat to someone about SE Asian birds again.
Thursday's highlight was this Yellow-billed Cuckoo which hung around in a tree long enough for everyone to get a look.
Several very confiding Canada Warblers today
Yet another Wilson's Warbler
