With news that a Wheatear had been seen at The Bill early on this morning, I decided to head off to King Barrow and Fancy's Farm in the hope of seeing one at the "top" of the island.
And did I see any, nope. In fact the only migrant was a Chiffchaff just south of Fancy's Farm.
Other than than the Chiffchaff the only other highlight was a Peacock butterfly in the Nature Reserve.
