Nice to have you on board Matthew, looks like you had an eventful day.
Yes i did. It was nice to see the flycatchers as that's a first for me.
Wow

Great list of birds , good to get Wheatear at this time of year.
Possible breeders.??
Im not sure. They didn't look to be feeding chicks but i suppose they're likely to be breeding soon if not now. One of them was calling regularly.
Worth keeping an eye on that area if possible...
A good day's birding by all accounts. Nice one.
Chris
I will do andy
Well done Matthew - a great return for that area
