9th May

Beautifully calm and sunny again with the variable light wind still bringing a chilly edge to being out and about; there was a handful of migrants scattered around but you had to put effort in to find them which included a Woodpigeon, a Tree Pipit (a Norwegian control trapped at Holland), 2 Robins, a Whitethroat, 2 Blackcaps, 2 Chiffchaffs, 4 Willow Warblers, a Rook and 2 Brambling.

                Other little bits included 2 Manx Shearwater past the Lighthouse, a Heron, a drake Garganey, 2 Red-breasted Mergansers, a Black-tailed Godwit, a Whimbrel and 5 Arctic Skuas.
