A little more on the migrant front today with winds still in a unfavourable direction. At least six Chiffs were around site, joined by a new Goldcrest and the first Blackcap of the spring. Other new migrants included a continental type Song Thrush, a couple of Blackbirds, a Robin and Chaffinch. Yesterdays Wheatear appears to have moved on but a Black Redstart was still on the point. The only other bird of note was a 2nd winter Caspian Gull amongst the melee on the docks. The moth traps produced singles of Hebrew Character, Clouded Drab and Common Quaker.
