A grey day of continuously drizzly showers saw the poorest species list for quite some time. None of yesterdays rarities (confirmed or otherwise) were relocated and, save for the usual flocks of finches within the Crown Estate Fields, the South end of the island was largely quiet. 17
Redwings, 5
Song Thrushes, a pair of
Brambling, 3
Blackcaps, a
Goldcrest and a
Chiffchaff were all we had to offer.
Ferrybridge had slightly more success with 2
Pale-bellied Brents, 2
Bar-tailed Godwits, a
Redshank, 160
Dunlin and the
Merlin.
Thankfully Pete and Debby are diligent in their Ferrybridge vigils, otherwise our days totals would have looked awfully sad © Pete Saunders:
