Super flat calm first thing and with the touch of east in the wind overnight there was thick fog blanketing the point in the morning which persisted through until 09:00 when bright, warm sunshine won through; the change in conditions did the trick though and while there wasn’t huge numbers of migrants there was a distinct increase in grounded birds highlighted by a smart first-winter Siberian Chiffchaff – a classic spring bird which even called several times whilst in the hand, a cool little peeep noise!
Other birds included the singing Black Redstart still, 5 Blackcaps, a Chaffinch, 6 Chiffchaffs, 2 Willow Warblers, 2 Goldcrests, a Lesser Redpoll, 6 Robins, 8+ Song Thrush, 2 Wheatears, 4 Yellow Wagtails and at least three Whimbrel heard calling in the fog first thing.
