Far too fine a night and day to expect much in the way of grounded migrants and a
Bullfinch was about as good as it got at the Bill, where even the most routine fare was represented in no more than low single figure totals. It was a little busier overhead, with 279
Meadow Pipits making up the bulk of the morning vismig watch on West Cliffs, with a light trickle of
hirundines also evident there and elsewhere. The light northwesterly did no favours for the seawatchers either, with even
Red-throated Divers only just about making double figures off the Bill. Reports from elsewhere included one of the
Long-tailed Ducks still in Portland Harbour and a
Purple Sandpiper on one of the Harbour breakwaters.
