Another day of northerly winds produced another very poor sea watch and very few new migrants on the land, a very small number of Willow Warblers, Chiffchaffs and Blackcaps were trapped. 5 Black-necked Grebes were still on the ARC also 5 Goldeneye. The Whooper Swans are still hanging on at Jurys Gap but still no Yellow Wagtails around Scotney, most of the wildfowl has left there with just a handful of Wigeon and Teal remaining also a Green Sandpiper.
At Dengemarsh a Bittern was booming, Bearded Tits were pinging allround, a Kingfisher was using the road pins to fish from and at least 4 Water Pipits were there but as usual quite mobile.
