After yesterday's fall and a building cloud cover through the morning there was some hope for similar numbers if nothing exciting. The numbers, however, never materialized but a second
Melodious Warbler appeared in the Obs nets to provide some rarity interest. Other migrants were thin on the ground but the first juvenile
Cuckoo for the autumn was accompanied by single figures of
Willow Warbler and
Whitethroats. The sea was - if that's possible - quieter than the land with just two
Balearic Shearwaters and a lone
Yellow-
legged Gull of note throughout the morning. The highlight past Ferrybridge was a movement of
Cormorants with a maximum flock size of 38.
