The land was quite dire today with very few migrants around;
two Willow Warbler, a Whitethroat, a Wheatear and a Redstart
were the only species of note.
Hirundine passage started a few hours after dawn and
continued until around midday when it dried up, mainly Swallows with several hundred passing over, a few House Martins and a couple of Sand Martins.
Also eight Swift,
four Hobby and a Whimbrel in off the sea a Raven and a couple of Sparrowhawk noted.
The sea passage was it little more obvious today with all
three Skuas passing, four Great Skua,
five Arctic Skua and a Pomarine Skua, also approximately fifty
Manx Shearwater, sixteen “comic” Terns, twenty plus Common Scoter, a Great
Northern Diver, two Red-throated
Diver plus Fulmars, Gannets, Guillemots, Razorbills and a few Kittiwakes.
All in all a fairly quiet day.
A couple of the regular obs garden birds. Greenfinch and Great
Tit
