Ring Ouzel

The weather had changed back to 'the pre-yesterday' conditions, calmish first thing with a hint of mist before the cold NNE breeze quickly picked up and then a sunny afternoon; migrants were much reduced from yesterday as the totals comprised the first Ring Ouzel of the year, 3 Black Redstarts (two new birds), 6 Blackcaps, 4 Chiffchaffs, 2 Goldcrests, 3 Redpolls, 3 Robins, 2 Song Thrushes, 6 Wheatears, 5 Whitethroats and 3 Willow Warblers.

Offshore, birds included 8 Common Scoter, a Gannet, a Mediterranean Gull and a Whimbrel.

Ringing: Willow Warbler 3, Blackcap 3, Linnet 2, Goldcrest 1, Whitethroat 1
