Initial thoughts that the Tawny Pipit may have gone were allayed when it was seen on grassland behind the fog station first thing . The sea watch also rewarded with some passage in the two and a half hours covered, a total of 903 Fulmar went north (one blue) along with 6 Manx Shearwaters, 1 Med Gull (2 cy), 11 Sandwich Tern and 9 Common Scoters. Coincidentally, or perhaps the same birds, nine also flew south.
Elsewhere there was a White Wagtail at Cattlemere, 2 Stonechat near Thornwick reedbed and 2 Corn Buntings singing in the clifftop set aside. Hirundines continue to become more frequent and included 9 Swallows and 5 Sand Martins today, but sadly no Crag. A Snow Bunting flew over the Lighthouse car park early afternoon
