As the winds continued to ameliorate, passage continued its gradual upward trend. Six
Wheatears were within the obs area accompanied by four
Chiffchaffs and four
Rooks. Overhead the pipits and wagtails began picking up with a day count of 167
Meadow Pipits, 17
alba Wagtails and a single
White Wagtail. The increased movement was also noted in Blacknor with 30 Meadow Pipits and a pair of
alba Wagtails. The sea produced little of note with the exception of a good
Common Gull passage tallying 49 birds. Other than this totals were: a single
Red-
throated Diver, one
Common Scoter, and four
Black-
headed Gulls.
