NWT Holme Dunes

    A 30 minute watch (0824-0854hrs) from the dunes west of the pines produced another trickle of migrants. The wind was a light NW force 2, conditions bright.

Woodpigeon - 14 west
Tree sparrow - heard from my watch point but not seen. Later it was in The Firs car park.
Grey wagtail - west
Meadow Pipit - ten west
Linnet - six west
Goldfinch - five west
Siskin - two east 


   The other highlights today were three red kites for a good part of the morning and later a rossicus bean goose with the few remaining pink-feet on the grazing marshes opposite The Firs.
