With the weather finally showing signs of change hopefully things will pick up a bit over the weekend following another relatively quiet day. A steady sea watch in rapidly deteriorating visibility turned up little of note but the Black Redstart was still in the foghorn compound as some compensation. Despite the conditions there was still some sign of movement with a female Blackcap, a Chiffchaff and 5 Fieldfare at Ocean View, a male Blackcap and a Wheatear on the Outer Head with another in the cliff top set aside at Buckton and 2 Chiffchaffs at Hoddy Cows Lane. Also at Buckton were singles of Short -eared and Barn Owl. Following on from other recent sightings of Bramblings at garden feeders there was a single on the feeders at the Living Seas Centre at South Landing and three in a garden on the Outer Head. Yesterdays Green Sandpiper was still present on Stainforth’s Flash.
