Around the headland: 2 Ring Ouzel, 1 Yellowhammer, 3 Chiffchaff, 8 Goldcrest, 2 Blackcap, 3 Black Redstarts, 1 Stonechat.
A lesser? Redpoll looked small but paler cheeked and chested than many lessers and well streaked with black white(ish)mid/upper rump, much whiter greater covert bars than two others seen well during the morning.
And 1 Red-breasted Merganser flew S.
