Another nice mild day saw some more spring action: nearly all the 27
Red-throated Divers were moving up-Channel, as were 16
Mediterranean Gulls, 8
Black-headed Gulls, 3
Brent Geese and an unquantified trickle of
Common Gulls and
Kittiwakes; by contrast, the 24 passing
Common Scoter were still mostly heading the 'wrong' way. Three more
Carrion Crows arrived from the south and 3
Short-eared Owls, 3
Purple Sandpipers and 2
Black Redstarts were still about at the Bill. The only other news was of the
Hume's Warbler still being seen now and again at Thumb Lane.
