The first Goldcrest of the spring is bang on cue with the only other grounded migrants being a few new Blackies, several of which probably arrived after midday in the onshore wind. Offshore quiet although 2 Gannet & a Curlew heading north will be on their way back to the nesting grounds & 5 Wigeon south are worth a mention as don't get many in the spring.

Common Plume can appear in the traps at any time of the year & will be commoner out of the wind in your gardens than with us.

Ringing: 4 Blackbird, 1 Goldcrest.
