A brisk NW wind and clear skies produced as small trickle of birds overhead including the first four Bramblings of the autumn, plus 11 Swallows and 35 House Martins along with the usual unknown numbers of unseen Siskins and Redpolls. 

other birds of note included 40 Chiffchaffs, six Blackcaps, a late Whitethroat, six Goldcrests, two Wheatears, two Stonechats, a single Ring Ouzel and two Reed Buntings. A single Arctic Skua past down channel 

Late morning saw a small movement NW of Buzzards with around 18 in total.
