The weather cleared today, though the wind was stronger than predicted. On the whole the visible migration was much quieter than yesterday.  A coal tit at the observatory was the first thing in a while, sadly it was never caught or seen so its subspecies identity remains unknown. A red-throated diver was present in the river mouth, for the second day. Yesterday's snow bunting remained elusive, but it may well still be around, quietly feeding on the beach somewhere.  Waterfowl were trickling south, in much reduced numbers compared to recent days. 

Birds Ringed: Blackbird 1, Blue Tit 1, Chaffinch 1, Chiffchaff 2, Goldfinch 1, Great Tit 3, Grey Wagtail 1, Meadow Pipit 2, Redwing 1, Robin 1, Song Thrush 1.
