Strong southwesterlies all morning produced a decent passage of Swifts, with the count just shy of 400 before lunchtime. A few waders moved through too including Knot, Grey Plover, Golden Plover, Barwit and 50 Curlew. 2 Hobbys and 2 Peregrines were also seen, the first of the latter for over a month. Other migrants included singles of Cuckoo, Reed Warbler and Swallow. Ringing comprised of 2 House Sparrow, a Linnet and an adult female Chaffinch.
