On a pleasant breezy day there was a movement overhead of 180 Chaffinches, 48 Siskins, a Brambling, two White Wagtails, one Grey Wagtail and 75 Starlings. Other notable birds in the area were four adult Ravens in off the sea, a Chiffchaff and the Hume's Warbler still in the Farm Wood.

The seawatch today didn't last very long in a bitterly cold north-easterly wind that had us shivering very quickly. The only notable birds were 48 Red-throated Divers moving north. There were also three Harbour Porpoises feeding just off the rocks.
Around the area there was a Brambling and three Chiffchaffs (one by Richard's, one in Farm Wood and one by Bert's House).
