The day featured light/moderate south-south-westerly winds, sunny intervals and temperatures that reached 10 degrees C. The seawatch was again relatively quiet, with a Great Crested Grebe flying north, eight Eider also moving north, whilst three headed south.
The highlight was a Firecrest on Old Fall Hedge south of the wood that showed well throughout the day. Additional migrants included a Water Rail on the Outer Head, four Redwing, four Goldcrests, one Chiffchaff and a Stonechat. A Little Grebe on a pond near the Lighthouse represented the year’s first record, while a pair of Coal Tits frequented gardens on Church Lane.
A Short-eared Owl was still present at Buckton.
