Still in the NNE winds and with some rain on the way tomorrow, bird were again thin on the ground. at least 6 Chiffchaffs were new in, along with a Blackcap, continental Song Thrush and a new Blackbird. A few Linnets were retrapped from previous years, obviously now exploring the bushes for possible nest sites. A retrap Dunnock and Robin also showed signs of nesting with brood patches at various stages. Moving through were 6 Brents and  Red-throated Diver heading North, and going South 5 Golden plover, Sparrowhawk, Great Crested Grebe and Yellowhammer. 2 Small White butterflies appeared around noon.
