A very quiet day today clearly not helped by the fact that most of the area was shrouded in fog or, at best, thick mist. Despite this the seawatch legend that is Brett Richards put in a two hour plus stint in addition to covering a hefty portion of the area during the rest of the day. Nothing unexpected on the sea but a Chiffchaff and a single female type Black Redstart in the foghorn compound were some reward. Elsewhere another dedicated observer had a large mixed flock of Fieldfares, Starlings, Redwings and a few Song Thrushes showing that birds can be seen even when conditions appear at their worst. Two Bramblings were on a garden bird feeder on the Outer Head and a third in another garden in the village.
