After a little unexpected band of drizzle at first light, it was another fine, calm, largely bright morning and another very autumn day; birds of note comprised 2 Brambling, 24 Chaffinches, 130 Goldfinches, the Cetti’s Warbler from three days ago re-trapped, a Grey Wagtail, a Guillemot, 30 Linnets, 14 Meadow Pipits, 9 Redpoll, the male Ring Ouzel still, a Rock Pipit, 49 Siskin and 11 Skylark.
A look at Loompit on the incoming tide in the afternoon produced counts of 71 Shoveler, 47 Gadwall, 29 Teal, 52 Tufted Duck and 26 Little Grebes along with a Marsh Harrier heading high south (had the look of a migrant rather than a local bird) and a late House Martin.
