Similar weather with easterlies and bright but chilly start. Started off with a teking lesser whitethroat that showed well. Then heard a clacking - 1st ring ouzel of the autumn, but it didn't show. Several goldcrests heard. Then gliping crossbills went over, at least four.
Quite a bit of vis mig; swallows predominated with 600 at least moving east throughout the morning. 10 alba wags. 1 yellow wag. 160 mipits. 30 siskin.
When I reached the headland/old battery another ringo took flight and headed out of sight towards the needles; seen briefly again when I went round the other side. Not a bad morning but still hasn't quite delivered its full potential concerning autumn migrants.
