Friday September 8th - Black Down

 With the Goodwood Revival meeting on this weekend I always feel rather snookered with travelling to the coast as I can't easily get to the Selsey / Pagham area, so I stuck with local this morning on a hot day.

It was quiet, as it has been. I found a Spotted Flycatcher at the Southern end, and with a group of Stonechat and Dartford Warbler, a single Whinchat which only gave a brief sighting before disappearing. There were a couple of groups of Siskin that flew over 22 in all. It was only when I returned to the northern end I found a bit more activity as a group of birds held a male Redstart and 5 Spotted Flycatchers, 1 Wheatear and c15 Willow Warblers
