Yesterdays Siskin still on-site, feeding up ready to move on.
A cold night and north-westerly wind meant we did not hold out much hope of there being a great deal about, but as it happened there was more than anticipated.
On-site the aforementioned birds above, along with 6 Lesser Whitethroats, 4 Common Whitethroat, 9 Wheatear, 2 each of Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Yellow Wagtail and a Blackcap and Goldcrest. Offshore, 50 Curlew and 1 Whimbrel went north along with 1 Rook and a Marsh Harrier, whilst 11 Sandwich Terns went south.
6 birds were ringed: 2 each of Pied Wagtail and Goldfinch, and 1 each of Greenfinch and Song Thrush.
