Links Road car park bushes alive with birds!

On Saturday 5th September, I looked at Ness Point nothing there and no sign of the Knot seen by Robert Win earlier, I checked the Netposts couldn't see anything there either (looking through the fence from Whapload road. Walking along the seawall I couldn't see any migrants or waders (other than 7 Turnstone on the beach rocks, but rather inevitably a dog walker had been along the beach just ahead of me. Seeing Andrew and Rob Will looked in the fenced off compound by the Oval, I could see 4 Linnet perched up on the northern most fence as well as up to 4 newly arrived Wheatears, one was an adult male still showing a lot of grey. They moved together feeding and spent time just sitting in the grass. Rob Will said he had seen 4 Spot Flys at Links Hill, so I walked over seeing a male Whitethroat fly out and I joined Rob H watching something intently along the western edge of the Links Road carpark bushes. They were richly bathed in the early evening sunshine, it was indeed the golden hour before sunset and the golden hour as it turned out for photography. It popped out and it was a fine Spotted flycatcher, it was joined later by a second and then a third, whilst watching these a fourth Spotted Flycatcher flew past them, an incredible tally of birds I haven't seen all year. Rob H said a Lesser Whitethroat was skulking in the bushes and it soon popped out near the top of a bush. It fed in this same bush and it returned a few times to feed in this area, but it liked sitting in the middle of a bramble most of the time where we had obscured views at best. A Blue Tit, Robin and Dunnock joined in. There were also 4 Chiff- Chaffs feeding in the bushes and they were soon joined by a female Stonechat.
