Mixed weather, with heavy rain at times and a strong south-south-west wind. The highlight was a Red-rumped Swallow over Thornwick Pools early afternoon during a heavy shower; unfortunately it soon departed west once the weather cleared. Proving more co-operative, an Egyptian Goose near North Marsh was actually the day’s rarest visitor in the local context. Two Gadwall were also at North Marsh, with single Ringed Plover and Greenshank over Thornwick Pools and three Whimbrel present. Passerine migrants included 16 Wheatears on the Golf Course, one White Wagtail and three Yellow Wagtails.
