With a seemingly obvious arrival of Song Thrushes and Redwings late yesterday it was hoped things would continue in the same vane. Unfortunately it wasn't the case, with only a handful of both species noted and the young Song Thrush pictured below the only one caught. Birds of note during the day included a Yellow-browed Warbler heard calling on several occasions around the heligoland trap, Kingfisher and Water Rail around the Broadwater, single Greenshank and Whimbrel and a Brambling in the pines. Seawatching produced counts of 212 Brent Geese, 238 Wigeon, 19 Great-crested Grebe, 7 Red-throated Divers, 33 Gannets, 87 Cormorant, a Velvet Scoter and a Bonxie.
