Excellent visibility this morning from the fishing boats where Napoleon showing well on his column at Wimereux. Shame that it was such dull conditions today.

Another early morning passage of several 1,000s of Auks coming out of the bay, by 08.30 all passage had ceased. A full list can be seen at the following link SEA WATCH

2 Mute Swans flying out to sea towards France was an oddity this morning

A wander through The Desert late morning found a Dartford Warbler with another close by, also several each of Firecrests, Goldcrests, Chiffchaffs and Continental Blackbirds 

Firecrest

A blinged up Goldcrest

Continental Blackbird

This Crimson Speckled behind The Sactuary was undoubtedly my best find of the day

A Yellow-browed Warbler was trapped in the TA mid afternoon, many thanks to the DBO ringing team for showing the bird to the assembled admirers.

The only other news from the peninsular was that Bitterns have been showing well at the ARC, especially late afternoon when the Starling roost is gathering from Hanson.
