With the forecast showing the wind dropping right away combined with some scattered showers throughout the night, expectations were raised for the possibility of a steady fall of new arrivals; however, it was soon clear from the first checks of the garden mist-nets that such hopes had fallen rather short of the mark. Around the Bill, the grounded migrant tally failed to get beyond just a handful of Chiffchaffs plus singles of Wheatear, Blackcap and Snipe, with visible migration fairing slightly better with 124 Meadow Pipits, 43 Linnets and a trickle of Swallows throughout the morning. At sea, another pulse of Red-throated Divers included 25 heading eastwards, with singles of Great Northern Diver and Curlew the only other records of note.
