Today (4th April) was similar to yesterday, a further reduction in migrant numbers, a good variety of species and a few species showing evidence of movement.
Species that had apparently arrived overnight were 8 Hoopoe, 38 Blackcap, 3 Savi's Warbler, 2 Song Thrush, 10 Nightingale, 5 Tawny Pipit, 2 Collared Flycathcher (both different to yesterday's bird) and a single Pied Flycatcher. In addition the first Wood Warbler of the year was feeding on the roadside above the Point car park.

Raptor migration was limited to 2 Kestrel, 1 Lesser Kestrel, a ringtail Harrier and and another Steppe Buzzard.
The Rock Thrush was present for its fourth day and one of the Richard's Pipits was still present on pipit plateau you can just about make out the long hind in the following photo.

The Collared Flycatcher in the olive groves above Kokinoghia perfomed particularly well.
