A glorious day with hardly a breath of wind and wall to wall sunshine, it was though, a classic case of the weather being 'too nice' for many grounded migrants but it was great being out in the fine conditions and there was a scattering of birds to find; the highlights consisted of a Corn Bunting which dropped onto the point but soon disappeared and the first two Swallows of the year heading south.
Other birds included a Black Redstart, a Blackcap, a Brambling south, a Chaffinch, 6 Chiffchaffs, 3 Goldcrests, 4 Goldfinch, a few Meadow Pipits in off, 3 Rooks, single Siskin and Skylark south, 2 Sparrowhawks and 8 Wheatears.
Also of note were a big total of 371 Black-headed Gulls heading south or lingering offshore on the still water, a Peregrine, 24 Sanderling on the beach and the odd wader heading south including 7 Dunlin, a Golden Plover and a Knot.
Ringing: Blackbird 2, Song Thrush 1, Chiffchaff 4, Goldcrest 3
