Light easterlies and fog have ,as predicted, brought in migrants to the east coast. Yesterday a nice juv Red Backed Shrike was found by John Malloy in bushes along the dunes at Seaton Sluice. At times elusive, it did eventually give good views. Also here were 5 Stonechats ,spread along the dunes. Several Redwings could be heard coming in off the sea ,but were\u00a0hidden in the thick fog.<\/p>\n
At St. Marys, 2 Brambling were new for the autumn . 2 Yellow browed Warblers were found ,one on the island. The fore-runners to a big arrival today, with probably ten present. The largest influx for many years. Another at Briar Dene later,and a pair of Snow Buntings flew south along the Links. Another good find came in the form of a juv Bluethroat ( N. Dales) along the cliff top at St Marys.Then a Black Redstart was reported on the Island. Offshore, many Wigeon and Teal flying south,as was a single Sandwich Tern \u00a0and a Little Grebe on the pond.<\/p>\n
The fields were alive with Skylarks,Meadow Pipits and Linnets ,a flock of 150 of the latter was noteworthy.Several Whinchat perched on fences.<\/p>\n
