A wet and blustery morning was predictably quiet for migrants, both insect and bird. A few duck flew south, 21 teal and 2 wigeon, along with 18 Brent geese, with 8 common scoter heading north. On the reserve a turnstone was still on the jetty, 2 Cetti's warblers were still singing around the observatory and singles of firecrest and goldcrest were in the compound also. 2 red-throated divers headed south, with another 2 sitting on the sea, and singles of gannet went both north and south. 


Rusty-dot Pearl is a migrant whose numbers vary hugely year to year. 

Birds Ringed: Nil.
