30th April 2023 – overcast/rain/fog/calm
Offshore
Only 5 Gannet, 2 Guillemot and a Red-throated Diver emerged from the gloom.
Grounded Migrants

Diurnal Migration
A Tree Pipit and Lesser Redpoll were recorded.
Wildfowl and Waders
Waders included a Wood Sandpiper and a Greenshank.
Miscellaneous
The long-staying Hooded Crow remains and a Peregrine was the best of the rest.
