The weather conditions looked favourable for drift migrants from the continent and while other sites along the coast turned up Pied Flycatchers, Redstarts and Wryneck, including some trapped and ringed we only caught the more common migrants and resident species.

One of 3 juvenile Whitethroats
Juvenile Robin with 5 old greater coverts.
The morning had started with a beautiful sunrise, and a Barn Owl disturbed from the ringing area before any nets were up, but captures brought nothing out of the ordinary and we couldn't even manage 30 birds.
