A foggy day, with impaired visibility to a greater or lesser extent throughout, a light south-west wind and temperatures peaking at six degrees C. A Gadwall, three Goosanders and a Mediterranean Gull flew south, with four Little Gulls offshore and a Swallow feeding over the Fog Station. Wetland bird interest across the headland’s freshwater sites included two Mute Swans, two Whooper Swans, 46 Wigeon, 47 Teal, a Little Grebe, three Water Rails, 32 Snipe and a Kingfisher. Migrants included 30 Golden Plovers, a Woodcock, 195 Skylarks, a Chiffchaff, seven Goldcrests and a Snow Bunting.
