Another day on the same theme although a bit calmer and the breeze becoming an almost straight easterly; there were limited grounded migrants which comprised a Blackcap (the first UK bird to be fitted with a motus tag), a Chiffchaff, a Chaffinch, a Goldcrest, 2 Lesser Redpolls and 5 Wheatears.
There were some nice highlights offshore though with the easterly breeze perhaps drifting birds within visible range which included 4 Common Terns, 2 Sandwich Terns, a smart flock of 14 Little Gulls which appeared to come out of the river to go north, a Great-northern Diver north, a Red-throated Diver, 2+ Curlews heard heading out high up, 4 Whimbrel north, 2 Gadwall south and the first Arctic Skua heading high north – a pale phase adult.
