It was nice to end on a high with yesterdays Turtle Dove although it didn't stay longer than 20 minutes which tends to be the trend with these fellas. 

Today was also an enjoyable days birding as it kicked off with 25 Barnacle Geese North. Wild or feral still great to watch. 1 rogue Siskin was in with the Goldfinches today. Other migrants 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Greenfinch, 4 House Martin, 2 Reed Warbler, 1 Sand Martin, 1 Sandwich Tern, 15 Swallow and 1 Swift. Offshore produced 10 Common Scoter, 15 Kittiwake and 8 Med Gull.


Waved Umber is becoming scarcer in Northern Counties but has also become annual here in recent years.

Ringing: 1 Great tit, 1 Linnet, 1 Reed warbler, 1 Robin.
