 The Stonechat was still here (picture from yesterday)

 

 A Chaffinch and a Swallow were the sole other definite migrant today. The Purple Sandpiper is still here, maybe its staying now for the winter. Other wader counts were 84 Turnstones, 64 Redshank, 10 Bar-tailed Godwit, 6 Ringed and 3 Grey Plover. Brent today were seen at 77 birds, there were 6 Shelduck and 90 Common Scoter and a Great Crested Grebe. Ten little Egrets were on the shore with a Grey Heron. A Peregrine flew about the area.
