The age old Portland early spring blight of a warm air/cold sea induced pea-souper enveloped the island today and severely impacted efforts to get amongst what seemed to be the very few migrants that made landfall. A small arrival of
Meadow Pipits was evident but a lone
Blackcap in the Obs garden mist-nets was the only other obvious arrival. Two
Red-throated Divers through offshore soon after dawn represented the only sea passage logged before the fog clamped down.
