Sunny throughout, with a light variable winds and temperatures reaching 14 degrees C. The year’s first Sandwich Terns were recorded during the morning’s seawatch, with three birds flying south. However, the main feature of the day were two distinct movements of Redwing: unusually, a total of 395 Redwing made landfall from the east early morning and headed west over the headland. Towards dusk, a mirror image movement took place, with 480 Redwing flying high from South Dykes and heading east out to sea. Additional migrant records included two Little Ringed Plovers, four Woodcock, a Jack Snipe, the long-staying Siberian Chiffchaff, 20 Chiffchaffs, one Black Redstart, a Wheatear, a White Wagtail and four Siskin.
