Whimbrels, Osprey, Whitethroat

As has been the case all week, this morning's walk was generally dire in terms of passage migrants and was just about saved by a party of three Whimbrels off Passage House, along with an obliging Greenshank (below). Kev had another Whimbrel at Teignmouth and also recorded a Bar-tailed Godwit there yesterday.

Back at home the local gulls raised the alarm again at 13:50 and I managed to get on to an Osprey gliding eastwards in the direction of the estuary; unfortunately there was no time for a photo. A Whitethroat was a surprise find in the front garden hedge, which (although native and mainly hawthorn) was only planted in December 2018.
