Being frosty overnight and very clear on our arrival at Birling it didn't bode well and so it proved with just a Willow Warbler or two at Birling, another and a confiding male Sparrowhawk in Chat Vale, a Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff and a Firecrest in the Old Trapping Area and a pair of Redpolls overflying the Hotel Garden. We met Bob Edgar there who had seen a male Common Redstart at Birling but little else.
