It was back to local birding this morning. I didn't have much time so figured a vismig/seawatch from Goring Gap was the best bet. Overhead movement included 390
Goldfinches, 127
Linnets, 19
Pied/White Wagtails and 27
Meadow Pipits. A
Rock Pipit feeding on the beach was my first 'on the deck' record here, and two
Yellowhammers in the bushes represented my second site record (and first multiple). A flock of 16
Skylarks toured the fields and two
Stonechats were in the rough grass. Offshore moved two
Wigeon, 19
Dark-bellied Brent Geese, three
Razorbills and another three distant
auks. Two
Common Scoters were on the sea. The beach held a
Redshank and small numbers of
Grey Plover,
Sanderling,
Ringed Plover and
Dunlin, and a
Little Egret.
