We cut our sea watch short today thinking that the land would be more productive, we were wrong, a handful of Thrushes around the The Desert and TA, along with a few Siskin, Swallow and Skylarks over were about as good as it got until 4 Ring Ouzels put in a brief appearance. From Dennis's a smart 1w Caspian Gull on Burrowes and a few Cattle Egrets on Boulderwall Fields, late afternoon Mike Buckland found a Yellow-browed Warbler at Christmas Dell.
Very poor image of one of 4 Ring Ouzels that flew around the observatory today
