Weather: W force 4
Very little migration again with the west wind but a Redwing was captured for ringing in the paddocks.
The island's wintering birds were active, the small number of Blackbirds, Robins and Song Thrushes were on show whilst feeding, one of the Song Thrushes was retrapped. The Brent were scattered around the island and therefore difficult to count as they also change between areas very often, but the count of 260 this morning in the immediate vicinity was thought to be accurate.
Only 3 Purple Sandpipers were logged, although the short low tide visit is not ideal to find the true total, and other wader numbers were also scarce for the same reason. The Kestrel was here again.
