Finally some settled fantastic weather this week with clear blue skies.
What has been noticeable for a week or so is siskin movement; I don't think a day has passed I haven't heard one or two going over somewhere on my rounds. Today the sound of them going over seemed to be constant from the moment I stepped out of the car. Not all were seen but several flocks were and overall I would estimate 50 in total. But they seemed to be moving in all directions so difficult to be absolutely accurate. (More moving over Havenstreet this evening).
Other vis mig included 3 tree pipit and a few more yellow wags going over. 100s of hirundines made up of mostly swallows were constantly moving east hugging the cliff line.
On the deck of note: 1 whinchat, 4 redstart, 1 spot fc, and 1 lesser whitethroat. Bashed the bushes on the north side but nothing scarcer of note.
