Covered the area from St Andrews Drive, south to the old yacht club south of the clock tower. Lots of visable migration with large numbers of Goldfinch moving south, with a few Siskin in with these. Also Meadow Pipit and Skylark moving in some numbers, all south of course.

Best finds were 2 Yellow browed Warbler and a Ring Ouzle.
First YB Warbler and the Ouzle was in the grounds of the Renaissance Hotel, the other YB Warbler was closer to the old Yacht club.

Only other birds of note were 8 House Martins and 3 Swallows.
