Today's Highlights: The highlight of the day undoubtedly was a Hawfinch picked up by Kev Wilson flying south over the West Dunes, thanks to his phone call, I then tracked its movements from the visitor centre, it flew into the plantation with 200 Redwings. A long-awaited gib tick for me! Black Redstart 1 (Visitor Centre) Ring Ouzel 2 Jay 1 (flying around, not going in any particular direction) Swallow 3 (south) Sand Martin 6 (south) Redwing 3000 (south) Fieldfare 6 (south) Blackbird (100+) Brambling 1 (south) Chaffinch 153 (south) Siskin 41 (south) Willow Warbler 2 Chiffchaff 6 Green Sandpiper 1 Water Rail 1 Goldeneye 5 Avocet 30 LRP 3 Buzzard 2 Golden Plover 200 (in their summer finery) Woodcock 1 Yellowhammer 2 (singing males) Lets see what tomorrow brings! Cheers, Richard (Synchronised visible migration counts with Kev Wilson, above finch counts additional to Kevs) |

The Redwing movements were incredible this morning most of them had moved through by 08:30!!! They started to fly through around 06:45 going through in flocks of hundreds, one flock involving 500 birds!!! A flock of 250 flew into roost in the plantation this evening. |
