Another day of strong westerly winds, there felt to be ever so slightly more movement around the island though. A flock of 20 Goldfinches was recorded at Nant and Cristin and few small flocks of Meadow Pipits were around the grassy areas on the island, yet only 36 were recorded, so they are in modest numbers during this time of year. A Lapland Bunting was the highlight of the day, seen briefly on the West Coast.
