It looks
like today was our last glorious day for a while, with fierce North-westerlies
setting in overnight. The weather was stunning and the birds complied too. A
total of three Ring Ouzels were
still lurking in the gorse whilst some excellent wader tallies add to four Ringed Plovers, one Bar-tailed
Godwit, 35 Whimbrels, one Curlew, and 12 Turnstones.
Noticeable
movement above concerned eight Sand
Martins, 204 Swallows, and 13 House Martins and warbler passage amounted to one Grasshopper Warbler, two
Whitethroats, 22 Blackcaps, 13 Chiffchaffs, 30 Willow Warblers, and 11 Goldcrests. A single Song
Thrush was new in with other interesting
migrants noted including four Siskins,
ten Goldfinches, 126 Linnets, ten Lesser Redpolls, one Collared Dove, three White Wagtails, and 42 Wheatears.
