An immature Glaucous Gull was present offshore for about quarter of an hour from 0740 hrs plus the first Black Redstart of the year was by the Mine Station. Other migrants on site were 34 Redwing (most quickly moving inland), 18 Blackbird, 5 Chaffinch, 4 Song Thrush, 3 Chiffchaff, Brambling, Mistle Thrush & Stock Dove. On the move heading south 3 Jackdaw, 2 Mipit & 2 Crow. Offshore southbound 3 Barnacle Geese, Gannet, Little Egret, Red-throated Diver & Shelduck with northbound 60 Cormorant, 25 Brent, 3 Common Gull, Common Scoter & Red-throat. Usual 2 Purps were on the point. The usual 3 Red-leg Partridge increased to 8 - not known for their migratory prowess if we get 'extras' it tends to be this time of the year that they turn up.

Ringing: 6 Blackbird, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Dunnock, 1 Great Tit, 1 Song Thrush.
