Flock of 40 Sanderling on the beach early morning is a goodly sized flock. Two Red Kite heading over is only the 14th site record with a Cetti's Warbler bursting into song only the 17th ever of its kind here. Other sightings of note included southbound 2 Buzzard, 2 Goldfinch, 2 Rook, 2 Siskin & a Skylark. Grounded migrants few but worth a mention are 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Firecrest & Black Redstart. 2 Purp still with us.

A few Peacock & Small Tort butterflies were on the wing but the moth traps are largely empty.

Ringing: 1 Blackbird.
