A windy morning. There were few migrants about again, the only ones of note being 2 Tree Pipits, 2 Turtle Doves, a Reed Warbler, 3 Yellow Wagtails, 3 Swift, 1 Hobby and 39 Swallows. Offshore 6 Pink-footed Geese headed north early on and several terns were seen on passage. Mid morning an Avocet was seen landing on the sea to evade a Peregrine, which was soon joined by another, and the Avocet continued to land each time one the Peregrines attacked before heading out to sea as they gave up.

The only bird ringed was a Lesser Whitethroat.
