In addition to most of the migrants noted yesterday there were several new arrivals in evidence today including a Tree Pipit near North Landing, 2 Whinchat in the Gorse Field, a male and female Redstart and male Pied Flycatcher in Old Fall and several Ring Ouzels (4+) across the headland. Up to 3 acredula Willow Warblers on the outer head stood out amoung more olive and yellow nominate birds. The highlight of the day however has to be the Grey-headed Wagtail ssp. thunbergi seen in the sheep field south of the lighthouse.
Departing winter visitors continue to be seen with a Redwing and 3 Bramblings in Old Fall. Elsewhere up to 3 Marsh Harrier and 1 Buzzard flew south over the headland. A Ringed Plover was on Thornwick Pool and the Green Sandpiper there was joined by a second bird. A Whimbrel was also seen heading west over the pool.
