Rain arrived overnight and lasted through until lunchtime
and we, yet again kept the strong SE wind; there were plenty of new birds in as
we had a wild goose-chase for a Yellow-breasted Bunting up the west coast in
the morning with the first 2 Siskins of the year and a few
Goldcrest, Blackcaps and Thrushes etc.
The
Brides census route in the afternoon was fairly quiet in the rough weather
though (very exposed!) with a Whinchat, 3 Robins, 5 Song Thrushes, 3 Redwings
and a Blackcap of note before I opened the nets in Holland for a short while
until the weather closed in again and managed to catch a Chiffchaff, a Redstart
and a Spotted Flycatcher.
