Thick mist and rain lasted throughout the morning, with dryer and brighter conditions prevailing from early afternoon; winds remained light and variable in direction. A pair of Tufted Duck visited Thornwick, whilst two pairs of Shelduck were in residence.
There was an increase in grounded migrants after the morning’s rain. Eighteen Chiffchaffs were located on the ‘Old Fall Circuit’ during the late afternoon, with a duo also at Thornwick Pools. Yesterday’s Firecrest remained and three Black Redstarts were on the Outer Head, together with two White Wagtails. The two Richard’s Pipits were still present at North Landing, with seven Fieldfare, three Redwing and six Wheatear also recorded; a Robin at the Fog Station late evening was an undoubted migrant.
