Dipping

I started today off by checking the bushes near the viewing platform on Bowling Green Marsh and the results were not bad with 4 Willow Warbler , 4 Common Chiffchaff , 3 Blackcap and a Common Whitethroat . I then had a look out from the hide and saw 2 Red Knot , a Spotted Redshank , a juvenile Ruff and a Common Snipe .
There was news of a Western Bonelli`s Warbler being found at Berry Head in South Devon , so my mate Andy and myself went to see if we could catch up with it , we arrived to find a few birders already there but they said that there was no sign of it since early morning , but we gave it a couple of hours looking but again there was no sign of it and the only things to brighten up the visit was a Hummingbird Hawkmoth and a Small Blue Butterfly .
