Earlier at the south end the few migrants that I saw or Martin Sizer ringed were 3 Blackcaps, one Common Whitethroat, one Chiffchaff, 8 Goldcrests, 7 Robins, one Song Thrush, one Tree Pipit, 10 Siskins and a Lesser Redpoll. Four non-moving Common Buzzards were present and a group of 7 were also spiralling ever higher over the fields and eventually drifted inland. A female Sparrowhawk took a Common Snipe on the flashes. 5 Gannets and 9 Common Scoters flew south at sea. A Pied Flycatcher was in my garden in the late afternoon.
