Coverage of the area between 5.50 and 8.00am were rewarded with 2 year ticks, a
Whimbrel which flew west at 6.15 am and a
Yellow Wagtail N at 7.20. Otherwise fairly quiet with 5
Goosander and c8
Goldeneye still lingering, single
LRP and
Redshank and another small increase in numbers of
Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff and
Blackcap.

| Just like this pic even tho the light is poor! |
Migration watching was from 8.00 until 11.15 when a shower stopped play. Pretty quiet actually with 59 Meadow Pipits, 10 Swallows and 12 Linnets N along with single Buzzard and Common Gull.

On a different note I was reminded today that I need a second pick for the 'Next Pugneys 1st Sweep' after correctly picking ( and seeing! - sniff!) GWE. After considering time of year etc I am going to plump for Great Reed Warbler! Previous record from Swilly and we have lots of suitable habitat - watch this space! Also waiting for votes from RB who is becoming a frequent and welcome visitor to the site.
