The strong easterly wind
persisted through the morning but began easing down gradually in the afternoon
with fewer showers; walked the Hooking census route in the morning but it was quieter
on the exposed side of the island with just a sprinkling of Thrushes, Robins
etc. Birds of note included the Kumlien’s Gull again feeding in the surf behind Hooking
(last seen on the 20th) with a big flock of 150 Black-headed and 170
Common Gulls, 3 Woodcock, the 4 Ruff which flew across the road at Holland and
a male Stonechat along the road down to the Obs.
