Still somewhat surprisingly very calm but that meant the thick fog lingered right throughout the day, not really thinning at all; the nets were empty and not worth mentioning!
Yesterday’s spell of sunshine in the afternoon must have encouraged a few things to start moving only to get grounded again as the fog came back in as there was a scattering of migrants dotted around the peninsula throughout the day which included a lost looking adult European White-fronted Goose which was on the grass on the point first thing until inevitably being flushed by dog-walkers (a very unusual occurrence apparently), a Firecrest halfway up the recording area in the afternoon, the first Chiffchaff of the spring at the top end, single Lapwing, Golden Plover and Dunlin, 5 Sanderling, a Stonechat, a Goldcrest and a Yellowhammer while my first Mediterranean Gull of the year (a 3cy) was in the river mouth.
