Thursday 18th September comments: The blog feels like a ‘stuck record’ at this moment; another day, another pile of good birds! The Farnes are going through a purple patch and a lot remained after yesterday’s epic haul. However the stunning Golden Oriole had moved on but was replaced with a Red-breasted Flycatcher on Inner Farne, so few were complaining.
The week has certainly put the islands back on the ‘bird map’ after a quiet spell and with more easterly winds forecast, what else will we see? One thing is for sure, it’s never dull and today’s list of birds will show that;
Rustic Bunting (for fourth day on Brownsman)
Little Bunting (for fifth day on Brownsman)
Yellow-browed Warbler (two; singles on Inner Farne and Brownsman)
Common Rosefinch (present on Inner Farne)
Red-breasted Flycatcher (present on Inner Farne)
Red-backed Shrike (for third day on Brownsman)
