Bird Sightings

Wheatear

The main migration period is coming to an end and some of the ringing sites have now been closed down for the summer in preparation for the seabird season to begin.

Migration has not completely finished for the spring though, yesterday three Spotted Flycatcher were in Barackmaster Lane and six Sedge Warbler were at Longis pond.

This morning two Wheatear were on the Defense Wall at the north end of Longis Baye, one pictured above by Matt Scragg.

Last week a White-tailed Eagle was observed flying over from Essex to Houmet Herbe. Via the AWT I have received written rarity reports from the locals and a group of visiting birders that saw the bird, we believe another birder that managed to get a few pictures. Could you please get in touch on This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you to the people that have already completed the forms.
