A very good day, with light north-westerly winds and plenty of birds to go with it. The undoubted highlight being a Yellow-browed Warbler, but 2 Ring Ouzel, one of which above, 2 Jack Snipe, 2 Stonechat, 1 Marsh Harrier and 1 Common Buzzard, both going south and a good sprinkling of Thrushes and finches on the move that included 118 Goldfinch, 30 Redpoll, 4 Brambling and small numbers of Greenfinch, Chaffinch and Siskin. Of interest was a flock of 30 Redwing arriving in off the sea late in the day at 1515 hrs pitching in for a brief rest before towering off inland. Finally the Caspian Gull present just over the dock fence a week or so ago was back on station again this morning.
58 birds ringed: 16 Lesser Redpoll, 11 Long-tailed Tit, 7 Chiffchaff, 7 Great Tit, 4 Blue Tit, 4 Blackbird, 3 Blackcap, 2 Chaffinch, 1 Wren, 1 Dunnock, 1 Song Thrush and 1 Yellow-browed Warbler.
