A perfectly birdable morning revealed no evidence of migration resuming in earnest. The only passerines of note at the Bill were lingering singles of Blackcap and Firecrest. A tiny bit more passing on the sea there included 5 Red-throated Divers and 2 Manx Shearwaters. Elsewhere, the first 6 migrant Pale-bellied Brent Geese of the spring dropped in at Portland Harbour.
Some late snippets of news for yesterday, 14th: a Merlin in off the sea at the Bill, 2 Black Redstarts in the East Cliff quarries at the Bill, 2 Firecrests at Sheat Quarry and 2 Siskins over Southwell.
