Wednesday 07 August 2013, Gaucin, sunny, light NW wind, 32C

Some relief from the heat of the past couple of days with the wind switching to a more northerly direction. I kept an eye on the skies on and off during the day but no sign of any migration. I did, however, see the first presumably 'returning' phyllosc warbler as a very bright looking individual, most likely a Chiffchaff sp. gave a very brief view as it darted deep into the folliage of the garden Walnut tree during the afternoon.
