The wind had shifted to have a bit more south in it but
remained strong so nets were a struggle but I still managed to catch 25 new
birds from first thing with the highlight being a Siberian Chiffchaff;
birds around the garden included an Osprey which was
flushed out of the grass by the Mill and flew low over towards Nouster from
where it flopped down onto the beach somewhere, 7 Blackcaps, 5 Robins, a
Redstart, 2 Garden Warblers, a Spotted Flycatcher, 4 Chiffchaffs, a Willow
Warbler, 6 Song Thrushes, a Goldcrest, 4 Chaffinches, a Brambling and a couple
of flyover Siskins.
Only
managed to do part of the west coast census route where birds included 2
Lapland Buntings, 3 Redstarts, a Spotted Flycatcher, 4 Chiffchaffs, 3 Robins
and a Siskin.
