Pied Fly early on in the Autumn for once!

In the evening of Friday 23rd August, I looked in Arnold's Walk not seeing much but along the top loop track of the Sparrow's Nest along the northern edge, I saw a movement and the spotted a fine Pied Flycatcher sat up for a couple of minutes before it was gone. A lady was feeding the Squirrels here too. Back at Link's road car park, no Gulls initially as they were all seen low over the Denes, maybe feasting on flying ants. On the groins, 5 Common Tern were seen including several that were little close, Rob H and Phil & his wife turned up and we enjoyed an immature Stonechat perched up on the "Greenfinch' bushes along the southern perimeter. Underneath the Chat, was a fine Lesser Whitethroat and a Whitethroat. Rob also saw a male Stonechat briefly too. 30 August 1998.
