14th Sep

The first calm morning for a while brought a decent drop of migrants with a Woodlark, 700 Swallows, 13 Willow Warblers, 150 Chiffchaffs, 45 Blackcaps, two Spotted Flycatchers, 25 Robins, a Redstart, a Whinchat, seven Wheatears, 15 Yellow Wagtails, 12 Grey Wagtails, at least two Crossbills and nine Siskins. The Red-backed Shrike was still present and an Osprey flew over.

The sea was very quiet at first but as the wind picked from late morning birds began to move offshore with 14 Arctic Skuas, a Long-tailed Skua, nine Sooty Shearwaters, three Manx Shearwaters and nine Balearic Shearwaters of note.
