Highlights - Sunday 3rd April
Windy then windier still. A frustrating day as the few migrants that were present were hard to see, both numbers and variety were down on the last couple of days.
A northward trickle of wagtails and pipits again was the best evidence of northward migration. On the land just a scattering of common migrants, with some areas of the headland seemingly devoid of bird life.
Grounded Migrants: included 5 Hoopoe, 2 Wryneck, 18 Blackcap,14 Subalpine Warbler, 6 Willow Warbler, 10 Nightingale, 3 Redstart, 2 Black Redstart, 8 Black-eared Wheatear, 3 Isabelline Wheatear,
Visible Passage: 20 Tawny Pipit, 9 Tree Pipit & 13 flava wagtails
Raptors: just a single Marsh Harrier through
Bird Ringing: Total = 19: 1 Wryneck, 5 Tree Pipit, 4 Subalpine, 7 Blackcap, 1 Whitethroat, 1 Sardinian,
Weather: WNW 5-6, freshening F6-7 in afternoon, clear with slightly hazy blue skies. Visibility fair (for the first time in a week)
