Lapland Buntings continue to linger

A check along the golf course and lighthouse area today revealed a number of Chiffchaffs still singing away, 3 Bramblings were in Warren Woods and a couple of Greylags headed NE out to sea. A few corvids were on the move and the first Brimstone of the year was also noted.

A visit to West Runton revealed the two Lapland Buntings were still present, inevitably showing very well now that I am camera-less, and the Med Gull continues to patrol the car park in its splendid summer attire.

Offshore a flock of 18 Eider was noteworthy, and a Common Scoter and a Red-throated Diver were noted moving west. A few Common Buzzards and Sparrowhawks were noted along the ridge circling up high enjoying the warm and sunny weather.
