22nd October

A horrible day with strong SSW winds and driving rain pretty much throughout; the limited observations suggested another arrival of Redwings, especially at the north end of the island with c1,160 counted in the fields.   Other birds seen comprised a Grey Plover, 2 Jack Snipe, a few Robins still, 2 Blackcaps and the male Hawfinch still around the Obs.
