Calm, murky morning. A male Hen Harrier stayed up to late morning occasionally getting grief from the local crows. New in were 46 Redwing, 25 Blackbird, 8 Song Thrush, 5 Chaffinch, 3 Blackcap, 3 Fieldfare, Golden Plover, Lesser Redpoll, Ring Ouzel & Siberian Chiffchaff. 525 Cormorant headed out fishing early morning with offshore observations limited by the poor visibility. 2 Purp & Rock Pipit were on the point.

Chestnut is a species that has almost become rare here in the last ten years having been annual prior to that.

Ringing: 3 Blackbird, 3 Blackcap, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Lesser Redpoll, 1 Redwing, 1 Siberian Chiffchaff, 1 Song Thrush.
