More wind which slowly abated as the morning went on although occasional drizzle still, once again, making birding difficult. Southbound 26 Great Black-backed Gull, 3 Dunlin, 2 Common Gull, 2 Swallow, Knot & Pintail with northbound 2 Common Tern & Gannet is a poor return from the effort put in. Grounded migrants include 15 Chiffchaff, 4 Wheatear, 2 Blackcap, Goldcrest & Redstart.


Short-cloaked Moth formally only occurred in mid summer but now has a small second emergence.

Ringing: 6 Chiffchaff, 2 Blackcap, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Robin.
