4th June 2021

A relatively overcast day, with a few spots of rain during the afternoon; light winds were from the north-east and temperatures reached 15 degrees C. Following yesterday’s excess, the birding was far more mundane, with a scan through 615 Starlings failing to locate any rarer cousins with a pink hue. A Pink-footed Goose continued to linger with the Greylag flock, whilst a northerly movement of 47 Canada Geese over the sea was typical of early June. Single Spotted Flycatcher and Siskin were the only notable migrant passerines.
