 A very chilly start to the day given the time of year. A Fulmar going North was notable and a few hours later another one was spotted on the river. Also very unseasonal was a lone Redwing which seems to have replaced the Ring Ouzel which wasn't seen today. A further 40 Brent Geese North today. Other migrants include 2 Barnacle Geese, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Greenfinch, 5 Common Scoter and 7 Swallow.


Lesser Whitethroats have gone a bit quieter recently as they pair up but a few late arrivals today so we will see...


Scarce Bugloss Ermine Ethmia terminella is Nationally Scarce. The species was first noted here 20 years ago.

Ringing: 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Lesser Whitethroat.
