19th Apr

It was a bit of a return to normality on the land with very few migrants to be seen other than 22 Willow Warblers, eight Blackcaps and 17 Lesser Whitethroats. Seven Yellow Wagtails flew over and a flock of 15 Corn Bunting were feeding at the Point again. The sea was very quiet in the morning but improved as the wind veered into the north-east and induced an afternoon movement of 70 Whimbrel, 745 Bar-tailed Godwits, four Little Gulls and an Arctic Skua.

Five Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore.
