A third calendar-year Mediterranean Gull flew south during the morning’s seawatch that was otherwise quiet. Grounded migrants included a Woodcock, 70 Blackbirds, 15 Chiffchaffs, 40 Redwing, a Fieldfare, one Brambling and a Siskin. The Ring-necked Parakeet was still present on the outer head, while a Little Egret dropped onto Buckton Pond.
