17th March 2011 – early mist/drizzle SW1 then NW3/4
Offshore
There was little on show over the sea other than a few Razorbill.
Grounded Migrants
The damp and misty conditions in the morning produced a few grounded birds with a female Black Redstart taking top billing. Also seen were the first Goldcrest and Chiffchaff of the spring and three Fieldfare were amongst a small Blackbird influx.
Diurnal Migration
Two Siskin were logged along with small numbers of Meadow Pipit and Pied Wagtail.
Miscellaneous
Two Little Egret, 2 Raven and 2 Little Owl were the only other records of note.
