A bright day with prolonged sunny intervals, an increasingly strong wind that veered west-north-west in the afternoon and temperatures reached a maximum of 11 degrees C. The Taiga Flycatcher and Red-flanked Bluetail both remained in South Landing; at one point the bluetail chased the flycatcher, surely a European first! Both the Eastern Lesser Whitethroat and Siberian Chiffchaff also remained on a hedgerow south of the Lighthouse. Another feature of recent days, Pink-footed Geese (several skeins) and Siskin were moving south-west, with 60 of the latter over South Landing in three hours.
