Though no sign of any Yellow-browed Warblers today there was still plenty of birds to be seen. Four Eiders were seen to pass the South End in the early morning and a Barn Owl put in a ghostly appearance at Cristin after dark. 

A massive 33 Coal Tits arrived today alongside four Great Tits, with no sign that the invasion is going stop any time soon.
