With no sign of the forecast rain, the morning was a little more interesting than we expected. Blackcaps had arrived early doors, most of which were very fat, so not hanging around. Chiffchaffs are still trickling steadily through, and 7 wheatear on the reserve with a black redstart was the highest total we've had yet. Finches were noticeably moving, with 122 siskins and 217 chaffinch heading south, with a smaller number of goldfinches moving too. 5 meadow pipit on the point late morning may have been brought in by the eventual rain.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 6, Chiffchaff 8.
