All that hovering must get tiring but there's plenty of vantage points by the dock for Kez.

Another reasonable day for vismig as a further 247 Goldfinch, 231 Meadow Pipit and 186 Siskin moved through. Yesterdays Firecrest was seen making it's way around the observatory. Plenty of Chiffchaff and Blackcap to keep the ringing room busy throughout the day and a very late Whitethroat made an appearance. Also on the move were 1 Brambling, 2 Cetti's Warbler, 4 Chaffinch, 15 Redpoll, 3 Redwing, 1 Reed Bunting, 2 Rock Pipit, 3 Rook, 31 Skylark, 8 Song Thrush and 20 Swallow.

Offshore 10 Brent Goose, 7 Cormorant, 1 Common Tern, 1 Common Scoter, 1 Gannet, 1 Red-throated Diver and 1 Shelduck.
