More of the same today with slight encouragement being provided during the evening as noticeably warmer air arrived in tandem with a veil of hazy cloud gathering out to the southwest. The grounded migrant tally was again pitiful, with a lone
Reed Warbler about the best of it at the Bill; overhead passage also slowed up, with 2 single
Little Egrets through at the Bill but
hirundines and
Swifts reduced to no more than a trickle there. The sea got a lot of attention but although
Common Scoter numbers picked up - including 126 through off the Bill - the back-up cast there of 4
Mute Swans, 4
Arctic Skuas and a
Black-throated Diver was none too impressive.
Migrant moth interest has dwindled right away over the last few nights but by day there's still been a scatter of single Painted Ladys everywhere - including a likely new arrival this evening on top of Chesil above Ferrybridge; this photographed one was in a garden at the Grove today © Martin Cade:
