Managed to get over to the Point for an hour this morning – no sign of the Firecrest from yesterday but lots of finches, mainly Linnets and Goldfinch, with a few Redpoll and Siskin heard overhead but not seen. Several Skylark and Meadow pipit, 4 Reed Bunting and three Stonechat.
Three unusual records were a Little Egret overhead, a Kingfisher flying over the field !? and my first Yellowhammer here for about 10 years – is this a description species for this area?

Lol, the Little Egret is the first record at the point, the Kingfisher is the 2nd, last being in 1969 (Heathcote & Cadman) and the Yellowhammer is the first since 2008. [According to GBC/GRC data]. I would be interested in your Yellowhammer record, as it is not on the database. Also if any observers have a previous Little Egret record for the Lavernock area (not Cosmeston).
wow – that is amazing – I was with Graham Smith – and he was the first observer of the Egret and the Kingfisher – I was first observer of the Yellowhammer, but we both saw all three birds. I will dig out my previous records for Yellowhammer and send you a description for this one – yes I did write one in my “old school” notebook 🙂
Hi, whilst I saw the egret with Lol and Graham (hi both), I then headed in the opposite direction, so missed out on the yellowhammer and kingfisher
However, I was then lucky enough to have great views of a goldcrest exploring the elder about 2m away (also grey heron over). Pete.
