Another great, flat calm
morning after a disappointing night with just one Tengmalm’s Owl seen in the net which managed to get out before I
could reach it; there were fewer birds heading overhead although totals did
include another 1,080 Bramblings,
110 Meadow Pipits, 120 Siskins, 10 Grey Wagtails, 3 Tree Pipits and smaller
numbers of Reed Buntings, Yellowhammers, Redpolls, Goldfinches, Greenfinches,
Chaffinches, Tree Sparrows, Starlings, White Wagtails and Skylarks while 18
Herons also went NW. The quality
through the morning was provided by a Three-toed
Woodpecker which came out for one circuit of the point, a single Black Woodpecker which did the same and
a young male Goshawk which spent
some time hunting around the end of Lebeltet.
The nets were again unremarkable with 4 Reed Buntings
and a Blackcap the highlights before a walk round the coast produced a Great Grey Shrike and a Jack Snipe in
Sevika which was unfortunately about it really in the increasing NW wind.
