5th March

The blanket of fog had cleared overnight but only to reveal that migration was at the lowest of ebbs. The odd singles of Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Goldrest and Firecrest were about at the Bill but several looked to be lingerers rather than new arrivals. A tiny bit more action overhead included 3 Lapwings along with a handful of pipits and wagtails. The sea was busier, with decent totals of 362 Kittiwakes and 182 Gannets through off the Bill along with 55 Common Gulls, 29 Cormorants, 16 Lesser Black-backed Gulls and 7 Red-throated Divers.
