15th October

A big thrush day with large numbers of Redwings arriving early morning in misty conditions.  2,370 arrived during the first hour with a final total of 2,640. The event was all over by 9.00am with only a few birds over after that. Mixed in with them were at least 48 Song Thrushes but surprisingly, no Fieldfare or Ring Ouzels were recorded. 

Other birds of note included 13 Stonechats, 9 Chiffchaffs, one Blackcap, 12 Goldcrests, one Firecrest, two Bramblings. Nigel had two Black Redstarts on the undercliff and Neil Frampton had another at Hope Point
