Cold north-easterly - but at least its dry. Migrants included 5 Songies, 2 Chaffinch, Mipit, Skylark & Stock Dove although the Stockie probably hasn't come from far away. Offshore northbound 9 Gannet, 8 Common Scoter, 4 Red-throated Diver & 2 Eider with southbound 2 Wigeon & Kittiwake plus a drake Eider that flew into the river.

One of the site specialities is Agonopterix curvipunctosa with Landguard probably the only site in the UK that it is regularly recorded. Having only noted just one individual last year it was good to get this one early in the season.

Ringing: 1 Song Thrush, 1 Wren.
