Serin singing his cotton socks off from 0610 to 0630 hrs was the first here since three different birds in 2022. The photos on the blog of those individuals are all clearly identifiable, whereas this mornings, in the early morning gloom takes a leap of faith on behalf of blog readers.

Other migrants include 4 Chiffchaff, 3 Blackcap, 2 new Songies, 2 Wheatear, Fieldfare, Goldcrest, Mipit, Redwing & Swallow.

Ringing: 2 Blackcap, 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Linnet, 2 Song Thrush, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Redwing.
