The weather looked good for some migrants this morning and it
started well with two male Ring Ouzels found in the east hedge just after dawn. One bird
quickly departed inland but the other individual played hide and seek around a clump of gorse
for a while. Apart from a decent number of Wheatears there was little else new around. The
first Tree Pipits of the year were recorded this morning and the Glaucous Gull was seen
again during the afternoon.
