The weather has been glorious and the vast majority of avian migrants have been able to pass over the area unseen? There were a few pulses of Swallows, a Yellow Wagtail and seven Meadow Pipits (all S - SW) this morning with a couple of Chiffchaffs and, more notably, a pair of Blackcaps flitting around the garden shrubs.
Not going to cause much of a stir beyond my personal interest - but isn't that what this blogging is all about; sharing a very singular perspective on events and encounters?

The only other sightings, of any worth, involve the local Jays which are actively engaged in collecting food from various sources and, as such, are very conspicuous as they fly between Ramsgate Cemetery, Broadstairs Cricket Ground and St. Luke's Playing Field. A lone Chaffinch, which perched briefly in a neighbouring garden and a sudden influx of Blackbirds (something which was noted at Sandwich Bay a couple of days ago!)
