Common buzzard passage at this time has become a feature over the last few years and over the last two days, there have been small groups through; 5 south on 1st and 6 south on 2nd. Virtually all arriving from the north or north west and moving off south. Todays movement was exceptional and commenced late morning, and involved groups of 6 and 8 while I was watching around mid day. By late afternoon 48 had been recorded. Also wryneck trapped in the east dunes but few other new migrants apparently. Cheers Kev |

The question here, was any of the 48 recorded twice as I saw 11 in the air together when I left Jacksons Marsh hide and then another flock of 12 together along with the ringer. It did seem as though they were drifting south (sometimes rapidly) but I was dubious of claiming 23. Whatever, it was an impressive sight I missed the wryneck by about 10 minutes I understand. That would have been a lifer for me Lots of long tailed tits about in the West Dunes and the Plantation Several whitethroat, lesser whitethroat, chiffchaff & willow warblers great spotted woodpecker in the Plantation common sandpiper gannet 2 greenshank 2 Chris |

Interesting. I've had 11 over the past three days at Frampton/Kirton including three together. Many arriving from the North. No honeys though. John |

I was doing the counting at Gib today and had 37 after Tim had seen a flock of 11 earlier. All of the ones I counted moved on south so were not counted twice. But as we had a gap in the counting to see the Wryneck there were undoubtedly more than 48. |

Another very quiet day at Gib. Common Buzzard passage continued with 12 more moving south. |
