As we arrived shortly after first light it was clear that it was going to be a Chiffchaff day as small groups of birds were moving along the clifftop. In the end we counted 183 in the area. Blackcaps numbers had also increase with 49 being recorded. These influxes seem to have been shared with other migration sites in Kent.
Other highlights included single Grasshopper and Garden Warblers, three Whitethroats, three Firecrests, two Wheatears, four Stonechats and single Yellow Wagtail and Tree Pipit over. An early Reed Warbler was seen at Hope Point.
Siskins and Meadow Pipits continued to move overhead but most of the former were heard only but at least 180 were recorded.
