A lot milder but with another dose of the wet stuff it is not conducive to good birding. 2,353 Cormorant headed out fishing early on a wide broad front. On site a handful of migrants including 10 Goldcrest, 6 Mipit, 5 Redwing, 4 Song Thrush, 2 Brambling & Chiffchaff. Vis mig almost non-existent in this weather but worth a mention are 170 Starling in off the sea plus 97 south. Offshore movements again pathetic but included southbound 5 Teal, 2 Eider & Wigeon with northbound 2 Common Scoter & Eider plus 2 Little Gull that did a bit of loitering in the shipping lane.

11 birds ringed: 4 Redwing, 3 Goldcrest, 1 Blackbird, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Robin, 1 Wren.
