Migrants included single Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Cuckoo & Siskin + southbound 6 Swallow & a House Martin. Offshore southbound 2 Sandwich Tern, Fulmar & Gannet with northbound 25 Little Tern, 3 Kitts & 2 Gannet. A Buzzard was present most of the morning much to the disdain of the local Crows. 2 Egyptian Geese went south then upriver are possibly the same individuals as other recent sightings. A dispersing juvenile Chaffinch popped in with the days of them nesting here now gone. Worth highlighting are the better Little Tern numbers in recent days as sightings seen in recent years have been very poor.

Pale Tussock is one of those common enough species that only very occasionally pays us a visit.

Ringing: 4 Linnet, 2 Starling, 1 Blackcap, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Magpie.
