Despite overnight rain clearly dropping new migrants at the Bill, persistent showers for the rest of the day made it hard to quantify both the numbers and variety involved. At the obs, a minimum of 19 Redwing, 15 Goldcrests, 2 Chiffchaff and a Firecrest were logged; elsewhere a Woodcock was uncovered at Wakeham and a total of 55 Dunlin, 31 Greenfinches and 3 Grey Plovers were present at Ferrybridge.
