Despite the strong winds a few Speckled Wood are in sheltered parts.

Migrants are few and far between with today's offerings including 3 Wheatear, 2 Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Chaffinch, Fieldfare, Lapwing & Lesser Whitethroat with 3 Whitethroats on territory on the Butts plus yesterdays male Ring Ouzel still with us. 2 Swallow, Goldfinch, & Rook headed south plus a Swallow north. Offshore northbound 15 Bar-tailed Godwit, 8 Oyk, 4 Whimbrel, 3 Arctic Tern, 2 Greenshank, Kittiwake & Sandwich Tern.

Chamomile Shark does what it says on the tin and I will let you work out its foodplant. It is always notable and not recorded in every year.

Ringing: 3 Linnet, 1 Blackcap, 1 Chiffchaff.
