After a couple of days with gale force winds a bit of calm returned this morning. After some early rain there was a steady movement of Meadow Pipits (165) and Siskins (110 but probably many many more) throughout the morning. On the warbler front there were 33 Chiffchaffs, one Willow Warbler, 23 Blackcaps and a single Lesser Whitethroat. A Redstart was in the hedge below the monument and there were seven Wheatears in the field at by the golf course. The most unusual sight of the morning was a single Barnacle Goose flying down channel soon after dawn. It no doubt is of suspect origin.
