Loads of fungi across the whole site at the moment due to mild wet conditions. On the move southbound 101 Siskin, 41 Goldfinch, 12 Chaffinch, 10 Mipit, 9 Linnet, 5 Redpoll, 4 Stock Dove & Brambling. On site a couple of new British race Songies, Blackcap, Redwing, Fieldfare & the semi-resident Rock Pipit on the point. The last couple of Blackcaps we have ringed have been like porky the pig whereas this mornings is a lot thinner suggesting that it may have just battled in across the North Sea for the winter. Offshore movements slightly better with south bound 29 Brent, 25 Shelduck, 19 Dunlin, 8 Wigeon, 6 Common Scoter, 4 Gadwal, 4 Goldeneye, 4 Red-breasted Mergs, 4 Knot, 3 Grey Plover, Teal & Oyk plus 8 Common Scoter heading north.

4 birds ringed: 2 song thrush, 1 blackcap, 1 wren.
