Weather: SE-3, Warm and clear
A blustery day with a stiff east south easterly breeze making 'finding' conditions difficult. Grounded migrants included Chiffichaff (6) Blackcap (1) Wheatear (3). The resident Greenshank remained faithful to 'greenshank groyne'.
A small finch movement was noted with 9 Chaffinch moving south along with 18 Goldfinch. 2 Great spotted Woodpeckers also moved south.
Although Magpie is a common bird at the Lighthouse the number of migrant birds arriving today was quite staggering with all birds arriving from the north and moving off south. A total of 57 magpies moved through including flocks of 22 and 18. Other 'Corvids' on the move included 4 Carrion Crow and a single Raven all moved South.
