Once again, far too nice to expect any sort of arrival of grounded migrants. The miscellany logged included singles of
Water Rail,
Brambling and
Bullfinch at the Bill, where more routine arrivals were at a premium and included little more than ones and twos of
Wheatear and
Chiffchaff on the ground and a few
Meadow Pipits and
alba wagtails arriving overhead; another
Brambling also dropped in at Weston. Sea interest dwindled and included little of note beyond 6
Red-throated Divers through off the Bill.
