The highlight was another early summer visitor returning, a chiffchaff, picked up by the entrance to the Budge screen, it wasn't calling, just flitting through the bushes until it was chased by two blue tits.
There were lots of black-headed gulls on the Budge fields, but sadly no sign of the med gull reported here during the week. Offshore, tow year ticks came in the form of a single kittiwake and a pair of fulmar which were doing some strange courtship thing. I am away all next weekend so hopefully will get out during the week.
85 chiffchaff
86 fulmar
87 kittiwake
88 long-tailed tit
