28th March

Migration remained at the lowest of ebbs, with a single Redwing one of the very few new arrivals on the ground at the Bill; visible passage was barely any better, consisting of just a handful of Meadow Pipits and Linnets. In contrast, for a while after dawn the sea was extremely busy with an arrival of 2000 auks and 750 Manx Shearwaters off the Bill - many feeding close inshore amongst the now daily large aggregation of gulls, Gannets and Sandwich Terns; offshore passage consisted of just 8 Red-throated Divers and a lone Shelduck.
