Handful of migrants on the move with at least 21 Mipit coming in off the sea plus southbound 7 Goldfinch, 5 Mipit, 4 Carrion Crow, 3 Jackdaw, 3 Rook, 2 Greylag Goose, 2 Mipit & Chaffinch. On site 2 Chiffchaff, Firecrest, Reed Bunting & the first White Wag of the year. Single Dunlin & Sanderling were on the beach near high tide plus 2 Turnstone on the jetty. Offshore quiet except for a Bonxie that came into the river-mouth to harass gulls & a Great-northern Diver that landed off the point.


Still few moths due to wind and temperature but Green Cellar Slug was found.

Ringing: 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Blackbird, 1 Dunnock, 1 Great Tit.
