Weather: ESE
force 2 then 1400 ENE 3
After
a noisy night of gales and rain observers had 2 Collared Doves flying
over going east when the rain stopped. A steady passage then commenced
of Meadow Pipits (52),1 Chiffchaff, at least 3 Willow Warblers, 2
Goldfinch, 8 Swallows and 1 Sand Martin spread through
the day. A peregrine flew through the SK trapping area close to
observers. Six Little Egrets roosted with a heron on the north end of
middle but
were disturbed by a jet ski twice. In the afternoon were was a small
fall of 6 wheatears
and a striking Greenland wheatear which an observer said was one of the
best
he had ever seen.
On the sea
was a male Scaup, 9 Common Scoter, a Red-breasted Merganser flying west and
13 Great Crested Grebes off the north end . There was also is single Dark-bellied Brent
goose off the west side – possibly the last?
