Some decent immigration of thrushes at last. 950 Blackbirds passed south along the dunes, but other newly-arrived thrushes headed SW inland often after brief stop-overs in the coastal bushes.   Totals seen were 850 Redwings, 170 Fieldfares and 80 Song Thrushes.   Other migrants included 900 Starlings, 25 Robins, 60 Meadow Pipits, 50 Chaffinches, 5 Bramblings, 2 Chiffchaffs, Blackcap, 3 Goldcrests, Stonechat, Woodcock and Lapland Bunting.   25 Long-tailed Tits and 9 Tree Sparrows were noted, plus 3 Sparrowhawks, Merlin and Peregrine.   54 Whooper Swans were on the fields and 15 more headed south along with 25 Pink-footed Geese.   A Pomarine Skua flew south close inshore.

      A walk round my garden in the afternoon added a further 60 Blackbirds, 15 Redwings, 11 Fieldfares, 6 Robins, 8 Long-tailed Tits and a Goldcrest.
