A day of increasingly poor weather induced a considerable movement of migrants, particularly from mid-morning, with a huge passage of 5260 Chaffinches along with five Grey Plover, 16 Golden Plover, nine Snipe, a Little Egret, 220 Starlings, 61 Song Thrushes, a Mistle Thrush, 87 Redwings, a Tree Sparrow, three Grey Wagtails, 193 Meadow Pipits, an excellent total of 16 Rock Pipits, 12 Bramblings, two Redpolls, 21 Siskins and 16 Reed Buntings.
Migrants in the bushes included 72 Chiffchaffs, a Reed Warbler, six Blackcaps, two Firecrests and a Wheatear. A Barn Owl and two Dartford Warblers were also seen.
There was very little movement offshore other than ten Wigeon and five Teal but 40 Mediterranean Gulls, a Black Tern and two Arctic Skuas were lingering.
A Grey Seal was feeding offshore.
The moth traps continue to produce migrants with a Palpita vitrealis, a Vestal and 17 Small Mottled Willows of note.
