Another day of 'rain stopped play'. Migration was a trickle at best, with a few double figure counts amongst the single figures of most species, and not a single species in the hundreds today. A few duck, geese and waders passed at sea, with skylark and meadow pipit the most 'abundant' passerines passing.  A single snipe and a lapwing were notable waders recorded today, with the former barely touching down before flying strongly south.


The most impressive migrant of the day was a moth: a Porter's Rustic. This is an immigrant species that has only been recorded here on three previous occasions.

Birds Ringed: Chaffinch 1, Goldfinch 1.
