Steady migration this morning, with 12 siskins, 2 bramblings 10 goldcrests, 30 meadow pipits and 15 robins fresh in. A ring ouzel heard by an observer early morning was frustratingly elusive the rest of the day. Dunnocks appear to be moving as well with 5 new birds on site today. 7 song thrush is an improvement on recent days numbers, though not as many as we might expect considering the conditions. A few chiffchaffs and blackcaps still hanging around, along with the usual Cetti's. 2 rock pipits were on the jetty and a merlin was seen early on. Out to sea it was much quieter with the highlight being 873 Brent geese moving south, along with 5 pintail, and 6 teal.
This worn White Speck is the first here for 6 years. A migrant moth that, judging from its condition, may have flown a long way to reach us.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 1, Blue Tit 1, Chaffinch 2, Chiffchaff 3, Dunnock 5, Goldcrest 4, Great Tit 1, Grey Wagtail 1, Robin 5, Siskin 1, Song Thrush 2.
