Exciting morning on Soil Hill with my 117th species for the patch; Lesser Whitethroat. One showed very well in the Koi Farm Copse just off Taylor Lane, but frustratingly I still don't have a camera so can only provide extremely poor record shots. It became more elusive as the morning drew on, traveling into the garden along Taylor Lane as well.
In addition, there was also a Spotted Flycatcher in the same area which showed well for a few seconds but did not reappear during the hour and a half we spent searching for the Lesser Whitethroat. Also 11 Willow Warblers in total, 2 Blackcap, c.8 Common Whitethroat, 1 Tree Pipit flew south calling (Audio recorded) & 10 Grey Partridge still on the summit.
