A day of Migration

After yesterday's amazing trip to Spurn to see Britain's second ever Siberian Accentor, I was up and on the hunt for my own local rarity at first light. Despite nearly four hours of walking the patch, nothing major turned up, however there was a great deal of migration happening. Migrants included:

1 Black Redstart

1 Firecrest

3 Stonechat

98 Siskin

148 Goldfinch

18 Redpoll

85 Linnet

32 Skylark

20 Meadow Pipit

1 Blackcap

1 Lesser Whitethroat

15 Chiffchaff

4 Redwing

15 Fieldfare

291 Swallow

40 House Martin

12 Goldcrest

1 Mediterranean Gull

9 Rock Pipit

48 Alba Wagtails

2 Sparrowhawks

1 Whimbrel

120 Brent Goose

It was a great morning and over 55 species were seen. There were some great views of the Rock Pipits at high tide.
