Calm again with morning fog lingering for a few hours before giving way to light cloud which in turn, gave way to bright sunshine by lunchtime; today’s limited selection of migrants comprised 10 Grey Wagtails, a Great-spotted Woodpecker, a Lesser Whitethroat, 8 Blackcaps, 6 Chiffchaffs, 2 Wheatears, 45 Swallows south, a Goldcrest (the first of the autumn, albeit probably not a Scandinavian bird) and a Redstart.
Other bits of note included a Ring-necked Parakeet which circled the point before heading back towards town, a Whimbrel, a close Guillemot south, a Pochard south, 5 Mediterranean Gulls and 4 Sandwich Terns.
