A moderately improved selection of migrants greeted us on the first day of November. The highlights included a Woodcock on the Mountainside, a Black Redstart at Cristin and six new Long-tailed Tits that roamed widely around the island; first seen heading south over the Narrows, then returning to the Obs where they were ringed, and by late afternoon tracking their way North through Carreg Bach and Nant Valley, after which they presumably departed back to the mainland. The two commonest species were 165 Chaffinches and 40 Robins, with otherwise low numbers but good diversity. Finches included seven Bramblings, 15 Siskins, four Goldfinches, 13 Linnets, eight Lesser Redpolls, a Bullfinch and two Reed Buntings, while a small selection of chats and Thrushes included three Stonechats, 19 Blackbirds, a Fieldfare, four Song Thrushes and five Redwings. Also noted were a Merlin, two Snipes in the Wetlands, 62 Curlews and 40 Turnstones on Carreg Yr Honwy, two Whimbrels, 21 Meadow and 24 Rock Pipits, six Blackcaps, 12 Chiffchaffs, 23 Goldcrests, one Firecrest, two Coal Tits, one Great Tit and 43 Starlings. It was very quiet out to sea, with just two Common Gulls and a Mediterranean Gull of note.
