Despite the frosty start, the day warmed up into a fine spring morning, and with it a variety of migrants. As the sun got higher, cloud built up and by mid-morning there was a northward movement of raptors over the site. These included, 2 Red Kites, a Common Buzzard and a Marsh Harrier. On site Redwings and Blackbirds are still dropping in on their way back north, whilst a surprise female Bullfinch turned up in a net, along with a small number of Chiffchaffs and new Great Tits moving through. The Firecrest is still about, along with 1 Wheatear and 4 Black Redstarts, including a new male.
Birds ringed today, 17 including, 5 Blackbird, 4 Great Tit, 3 Chiffchaff, 2 Redwing, 1 Dunnock, 1 Robin and 1 Bullfinch.
