Sunday 17th April

A Firecrest in Dead Dolphin Wood was the pick of the few migrants with five Wheatear, three Whitethroat and two Willow Warbler also on site. Overhead there was a slow passage of 30+ Goldfinch through the day with two Siskin and small numbers of hirundines. Elsewhere 123 Whimbrel flew north during the morning in small groups, 14 Ringed Plover, four Dunlin and a Sanderling were in the Bight and c25 Sandwich and a Common Tern were offshore.
