Were the warblers in the tit flock or loosely associated with them. Craig and myself witnessed a large number of chiffchaffs (20) with them yesterday. :t:

I saw the Med briefly perched on a rail. Vern took some shots which might answer that one.
The Starling total is made up of two separate flocks going to roost.

There were some L Tailed, Great and Blue Tits, but the flock was made up of mostly warblers.

thanks Phil and Dave S,
there are certainly a few growing there and I think they are an indigenous species and the birds like em.

There is a notice on the large gate to sailing pool car park at the Flashes which I presume is changed daily and tells what time the gates are closed. Gate opens to left so look left. On Tuesday it was 8.30pm. This only helps if you arrive before that and notice it. The Office will tell you if you ask.
Apparently this is an indefinite arrangement so check before you go.

if the gates are going to be locked for the near future maybe a combination lock like the at the Moors, could be the answer. alot birders like to stay late.

Parking at Sailing centre
I have spoken to Tractor John about the situation.
The centre is open until 4.30pm, after that other users ie the sailing club use the facilities and open to various times. I will ask if there is a rota of activities and times that these finish and let you know. Please remember the car parking is only on a gentleman's agreement and please talk to the staff courteously. We must remember that the centre is now run as a business and they are just protecting their property. I am sure we will be able to come up with a resolution, but for the time being be patient. Also please refrain from going into the office , Lisa is very busy and she hasn't got time to discuss the situation.
I don't want to get into a long winded discussion about this on the forum, so please PM or text me and I will do what I can.BJohn
