09:00-11:30 Cool, dry, very light Southerly breeze, 12 degrees C
I went straight to The Mere this morning to have a wander around the shore line in the hope that something else had dropped in, similar to the Little Stint found last Saturday. It was on the south shore line with a Common Sandpiper, both of which were flushed when a friend walked the shore, but they returned 10 minutes later just as he was leaving.
Nothing of note though apaprt from seeing that the numbers of
Wigeon and
Tufted Duck had increased again since my last visit on Saturday.
Down at the beach the tide was just beginning to ebb so not the best time to visit but there were a few Swallows flying around. I walked on up to the South Cliffs hoping for a few migrants (especially Yellow-browed Warbler as they've been turning up mall along the East Coast).

No YbW but
7 Meadow Pipit, a
Linnet and a
Wheatear were all in the scrub together with a
Stonechat - my first of the year :)
