Clear skies overnight followed right through until the morning with a stunning sunrise, later by overcast skies.
By the looks of things, a few migrants had dropped in over night and into the morning.
Around the observatory, 8 Redwing, 1 Fieldfare, 3 Chiffchaff, 6 Long-tailed Tit, 1 Goldcrest and 2 Firecrest, along with 2 Wheatear. Just 2 Black Redstart remain, feeding out on the nature reserve.
Offshore, several Brent Geese and Cormorant flew South and 1 Red-throated Diver.
This Black Redstart, above, was seen singing during the morning, a beautiful call and a nice addition to our constant monitoring at the observatory, will he breed?
Ringing: 13 birds ringed during the day - 3 Great Tit, 2 Dunnock, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Firecrest, 1 Long-tailed Tit, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Wheatear and 1 Black Redstart.
