Today could only be described as a tad of an anti-climax. After yesterdays fall of migrants we were left scrabbling round for those who had not departed in the brief spell of clear skies before dusk. A highlight of just 3
Pied Flycatchers set the tone for the day with a supporting cast of: 9
Yellow Wagtails, 7
Willow Warblers, 24
Wheatears, 6
Tree Pipits, 2
Swifts, 5
Whinchats and our long-staying
Chiffchaff. Our meagre sea-watch consisted of just 2
Mediterranean Gulls, 1
Yellow-legged Gull and 7
Whimbrel. Reports from Ferrybridge were just as dire with a single
Common Sandpiper and similar numbers of everything else as yesterday. Fingers crossed for a change in the wind!
