A wodge of rain moving through the Channel was close enough at times to be visible from the Bill but, perhaps surprisingly, didn't prevent a few migrants from getting through, with a trickle of
Meadow Pipits and
alba wagtails arriving in off the sea for much of the day; 5
Carrion Crows also arrived, whilst a
Bullfinch that dropped in at the Obs was a first for the year there (as was a singing
Collared Dove but that likely arrived from further up island). Seven
Red-throated Divers passed through off the Bill and 7
Purple Sandpipers and 3
Short-eared Owls were about on the land.
