Elmer Rocks & fieldThere wasn’t much happening offshore and all I logged was 13 Brent heading W and 3 Great Crested Grebes. The field margins were similarly quiet with just half a dozen Chiffchaffs and a Goldcrest for my efforts.


There was however plenty of vis mig – though not quite as much as yesterday – but the stand-out birds of the morning were Crossbills.. a minimum of 30 passed through, in flocks of 6,6,7 and 11+ in fairly quick succession, though there could have been more. Other totals (0800-1000hrs) included 280 Goldfinch, 40 Siskins, 25 Linnets, 10 Redpoll, 280 Swallows and 40 House Martins. Singles of Reed Bunting, Skylark and Grey Wagtail were also noted amongst the more regular species.(OM)
