Brisk north to north-westerly winds seem  to have curtailed autumn migration for the time being, so most activity was over the sea today, although this Stonechat (above) and the 2 Snow Buntings are still on site, but very little else of note. Out at sea we fared a little better with about 40 Gannet passing offshore with another 26 feeding around the sand bars, 3 Bonxie went north as did a late Common Tern and 4 Guillemot, whilst 2 Snipe came in off and landed briefly before moving on.

7 birds ringed: 5 Blackbird, 1 Wood Pigeon and 1 Wren.
