29th October 2011

Very little to report today in a cool and blustery south easterly that did not allow mist nets to be used, indeed there wasn't a lot in the trapping area anyway apart from 5 Chaffinches, a single Goldcrest heard on the east cliff and the now seemingly resident Coal Tit. Passage was just as meagre, a flock of 22 Starlings flew west, and a Greenfinch called overhead. Another (or one of yesterdays ) Porpoises was off the north end several times in the morning. The largest count possible of the Brent was 65, but some probably were missed as the flock is scattered most of the time. A Peregrine chasing the waders was the only raptor of the day.
Ringed :- 3 Chaffinches, 1 Wren.
(RA,CJ,NDW) + Tony Duckels and party [941-46]
