The times they are a changin'

We took a walk down to "Old Hive" this morning in a brisk Northerly. As we emerged from the cliff top bushes we bumped into Richard doing his regular Monday morning survey. Still no Sand Martins but hardly surprising given the conditions!

As it was Louise's day off we had another walk this afternoon at Sammy's Point. As we were leaving I heard the distinctive rattle of a Lesser Whitethroat!!! (P.86, H.64). Rather early, to say the least?

At Sammy's we discovered a lone Wheatear on the rocks...
