13th Oct

A bright, sunny morning with a light NW breeze. The more unusual records were a Barn Owl in the Trapping Area and a Dartford Warbler in the Moat while other grounded migrants included a Hobby, 35 Chiffchaffs, five Goldcrests, ten Song Thrushes and a Wheatear. There was a trickle of migrants passing overhead with 37 Stock Doves, a Grey Wagtail, two Rock Pipits, 40 Siskins and eight Reed Buntings. The sea was very quiet with just 30 Mediterranean Gulls feeding offshore of any note.

Three Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.
