Strong chilly east-north-easterly wind is not conducive for much migration. Worth a mention are 108 Starling feeding on the reserve, which are probably continental birds on their way back to natal areas, plus a Fulmar flying up & down the Butts for quite a while. Grounded migrants included 9 Wheatear, Chaffinch & Chiffchaff. Offshore northbound 24 Great Black-backs, 3 Whimbrel, 2 Gannet & Common Scoter.

Ringing:1 Chiffchaff.
