Sunny skies until mist/overcast developed from late afternoon, a light easterly wind and temperatures that peaked at 13 degrees C. The day’s highlight related to the discovery of a male Golden Oriole that flew in off the sea at Old Fall before alighting in the plantation; although it sang briefly, it soon departed. Nearby, the Hoopoe surprisingly relocated to the Gorse Field, while the year’s first Firecrest was located at North Landing. Other migrant totals included a Short-eared Owl, 20 House Martins, three Garden Warblers, a Redstart, one Whinchat, two Siskin and a Lesser Redpoll. Buckton hosted four Wheatears and a White Wagtail.
