Weather: SSE force 2, veering WSW 3 by afternoon with some rain
A bright start to the day with clear skies.
At the north end of the island a Black Redstart appeared on the Telegraph station roof.
November is a favoured month for an appearance at Hilbre, unfortunately it decided not to stay and could not be found after this brief showing.
The other highlight of the day were a flock of 7 Whooper Swans that flew over Hilbre towards the Wirral mainland.
The now resident Stonechat enjoyed the bright sunshine this morning.
There were 12 Robins around, many will have arrived overnight, and 3 Song Thrushes were present.
Two Starling were seen, the only finches were 3 Goldfinches and 2 Linnets.
Five hundred Common Scoter were out to sea with a Red-throated Diver and 6 Great Crested Grebes, while 7 Purple Sandpipers were here with 150 Curlew (including the German ringed individual) and 200 Sanderling, Four Little Egrets and Grey Heron were around the shore.
