Sunday 20th October

Two hours early morning seawatching produced a Pomarine Skua south also 490 Gannet, c20 Razorbill, nine Kittiwake, nine Sandwich Tern and two Mediterranean Gull.  Elsewhere there was very little to report with 37 Redwing, two Song Thrush and a Siskin overhead and just three Chiffchaff and a Goldcrest in the way of grounded migrants; as expected there was no sign of yesterday's unidentified reed warbler on Warren Point.

Ringing News: The Brent Goose above was ringed as an adult at Powderham in February 1996, so this bird is at least 17 years of age.
