8th March

Variety's not yet anything to shout about but a nice flow of new arrivals is being maintained, with Chiffchaffs notably numerous today and including 50 at the Bill alone. Seven Goldcrests, a Song Thrush and a Blackcap were also new there, with at least 1 lingering Firecrest also still about. Elsewhere, the year's first Sanderling was at Ferrybridge.
