Similar again but the wind had dropped a notch with a corresponding increase in birds seen through the morning with some migrants heading south; birds of note comprised 6 Shelduck, 2 Golden Plover and 2 Knot over the sea, an adult Mediterranean Gull, a further increase to 770 Cormorants, a Kestrel which headed south off the point, a Rook, 2 Jackdaws, a Skylark, a Firecrest heard again, 3 Redwing, 2 Meadow Pipits, 6 Chaffinches and a Siskin.
A late afternoon seawatch for an hour was interesting with a pair of Peregrines seen far out at sea hanging over an incoming container ship, three adult Mediterranean Gulls and 11 Dunlin and a Knot south at sea.
Obviously not too many moths so far but here's a March Moth and an Oak Beauty (a woodland species so not annual here)
