Started off with a south-easterly with a lot of rain before it did a complete 180 degrees round to a north-westerly with, guess what, more rain. Some brief respites in the deluge allowed some seawatching and coverage of the site although one gets the impression that more may be lurking. On site a minimum of 30 Song Thrush, 20 Blackbird, 20 Redwing, 4 Goldcrest, 3 Blackcap, 2 Brambling, Firecrest, Hobby, juvenile Peregrine, 2 Ring Ouzel (both in off the sea) plus that well known long distance migrant - Pheasant. A moribund Guillemot was on the beach. Southbound 468 Brent, 203 Wigeon, 57 Dunlin, 19 Black-headed Gull, 10 Swallow, 8 Teal, 6 House Martin, 3 Common Gull, 2 Common Scoter, Sanderling & Tufted Duck with northbound 14 Wigeon, 3 Common Scoter & 2 Sandwich Tern plus 3 Snipe in off.
