Crystal clear frosty start didn't deter a small arrival of 10 Chiffchaff, 3 Blackcap, 3 Redwing, Fieldfare & a new Song Thrush so, basically, a mixture of summer visitors trying to arrive & winter visitors trying to leave. A Sanderling was out on the lawn with the Ringed Plovers with a Purp & Turnstone on the point. 2 Black Redstart at least with a fine male singing his little heart out up on the lighting towers by the car park. 3 Avocet flying north is worth a mention amongst a paltry selection of offshore action.

A number of Gracillaria syringella were flying around in the afternoon sunshine but they are not the easiest tiny tots to get a decent shot of.


Ringing: 5 Chiffchaff, 3 Blackcap, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Song Thrush.
