Damp squib.

Well, so far, the easterly pattern has come to nothing. Even less birds than usual at Boulmer and that takes some doing. Not even a single migrant Robin...Maybe that low pressure along the English Channel is too much of a blocker? Hopefully something will make its way around the eastern edge of it...

Of note this evening, 2 Manx Shearwaters and 2 Sandwich Terns flew north in with 500+ Kittiwakes per hour, and a lone male Wheatear was on the beach.

86. Sandwich Tern.
87. Manx Shearwater.

Bugger all around Blyth as well - less yesterday than there was earlier in the week and there was precious little around then.

Bring back those westerlies I say...
