NWT Holme Dunes
High pressure dominating proceedings with clear skies and a F3 easterly blowing for what looks like the coming week. A 30 minute watch from the dunes (0830-0900 hrs) produced a few potential migrants moving east into the wind:
Black-headed Gull - 5 east
Herring gull - 28 in small parties
Jackdaw - 16 east
Pied wagtail - 1 east
Also off shore three red-breasted mergansers east, and one on sea, 350 common scoter offshore, a red-throated diver on the sea, three great crested grebes east and a guillemot on the sea.
There was also a build-up of starlings on the grazing marshes with at least 1000 present, spending much of their time feeding in the ponies grazing area. At the feeders 3-4 siskin and a cock brambling were present all day.
