Elsewhere two Egyptian Geese flew in off the sea, with 49 Chaffinch, 49 Goldfinch, five Siskin and a Grey Wagtail overhead and two Firecrest in the bushes, along with six Chiffchaff, three Goldcrest, two Redwing and a Blackcap.
Ringing News: A total of nine colour-ringed Dunlin were noted today, seven Exe ringed birds, a Welsh bird that was here last winter and a new Spanish ringed bird that is presumably still on its way south...
