Poor morning but better later.

On sunday 4th September, I managed to miss the Wryneck which had flown west of Link's road carpark and the Golden Plover in the compound. The only things of note was a fine male Migrant Hawker just west of Link's road compound and a Grayling the flew towards the eastern edge of Warren Hoiuse copse and 2 Wheatears seen by the southern edge of the Link's road compound. Later on some Essex birders were nipping in and out of the Bird's Eye bushes in the active pursuit of the male Redstart, I saw it twice flushed out and perched briefly in the small trees. But I did see a Whinchat on the fence and 4 Wheataer. Returning just after 5pm, there was nobody about and a total of 5 Wheatear seen plus the male Redstart flew out 4X to perch in the little trees as I waited patienly for it and managed a few shots. Intersting to see a Mimic Hornet Hoverfly briefly perched on the fence.
