It was a decent day for a few migrants turning up and I had Whinchat, Wheatear and a Pied Flycatcher in the dunes, the only thing missing was a Greenish Warbler! A second Pied Flycatcher was found around the seawatching hide viewable from the public footpath. There was a bit of Hirundine passage this morning with at least 30 Swallow and smaller numbers of House Martin moving west through the pines.
