More south easterlies brought in a nice selection of regular migrants along with a couple of tristis chiffchaffs, one of which paid a visit to the observatory. 8 goldcrests were mostly new birds, though a firecrest was one that's been here a while. Some common chiffchaff were new in along with 6 song thrush. 6 lesser redpoll flew south, along with 5 meadow pipits, 19 starling, 3 stock dove, 19 chaffinch and 11 goldfinch. Out to sea the highlight was a great northern diver heading south, along with 5 pintail, 75 wigeon, 6 teal and 16 shelduck. 2 snipe headed south, a rock pipit and a purple sandpiper were on the jetty and 2 lapwing were briefly on the reserve.
Only a couple of Dotted Chestnut have been noted here previously.
