Hard going this morning so just concentrated on the woods looking for warblers, but just one Chiff was all I found. Best were 3 Firecrests, 8 Goldcrests and a small flock of about ten L/t Tits, Also Three GS Woods and 2 Green Woods, a Kestrel, and two Jays. (OM)

Very quiet this morning with the vis-mig slowing down and very little movement offshore.

A Marsh Harrier favoring the back of 1st wood, seen from the footpath at the back of the golf course, but maybe best viewed from Ferry Road. Also a Dartford Warbler in the set-aside (AH)
