A dramatic change in the wind saw it swing round to the south west, and our hopes were renewed, not for a Siberian migrant, but an American vagrant. Our frankly thorough and exhaustive search of the islands hotspots didn't turn up 'the biggie', in fact it was left to a lone
Woodlark, amongst the gathering
Skylarks, to represent the only new passerine migrant at the Bill. Away from the obs, the cove benefitted from the change in wind as three
Grey Phalaropes arrived to escape the wild seas. Lingering migrants included the long-staying
Rosy Starling at Easton and the
Yellow-
browed Warbler remained in the garden. Other migrants were thin on the ground with just a
Merlin left harassing the now depleted
Meadow Pipit flocks.
