A walk around the lighthouse area Sunday was rewarded with a ringtail Hen Harrier which appeared to be chasing something (potentially an incoming migrant) over the cliff top before being lost to view.
A large Pipit, probably Richards, was noted heading west amongst the continued passage of Meadow and Rock Pipits and a number of Skylarks were also noted coming in-off.
The continual rain today made searching for migrants a thankless task, but a mixed flock of c50 Thrushes in-off by the lighthouse showed that birds were arriving and hopefully with a dry day and continued easterlies, hopes are high for a decent days birding around the patch tomorrow.
