Tuesday 10th October - no significant migration and few seabirds
Tim, Tim and James report that windy weather ruled out any significant movement of land birds, so they did quite a
bit of seawatching, but that was super sparse even by Lundy standards,
confirming impression of birders
on both Saturday and Tuesday Oldenburg crossings. Best sightings were 5 Manx Shearwaters, 15
Gannets, a few Lesser Black-backed Gulls and a Common Gull (quite scarce for Lundy).
Otherwise, 30 Swallows, 1 House Martin, 80 Meadow Pipits, 3 Skylarks, 30 Goldcrests, 8
Chiffchaffs, 1 Willow Warbler, 6 Blackcaps, 2 Stonechats, 1 Grey Wagtail,
1 Redpoll.
