The day started miserably with rain and a keen Westerly but cleared to sun and showers by the afternoon. There was a subtle trickle of arrivals seen throughout the day with 3 male
Wheatears, 3
White and 6
Pied Wagtails frequenting the East Cliff Fields, 5
Chiffchaffs and 4
Song Thrushes around the Observatory area.
Meadow Pipits were noted as more conspicuous with a greater presence than in recent days. A further 13
Chiffchaffs were located sheltering from the wind at Church Ope Cove and 3
Purple Sandpipers at the
East Cliffs comprised other small birds seen today.
