Another overcast morning being foggy at first. There seemed a similar selection but rather fewer of lingering migrants during my morning check of sites but a few surprises with a Woodcock flushed at Valyie, a Short-eared Owl seen flying west over Norwick just prior to the thick fog clearing and refinding the male Red-backed Shrike now at Leawart. Whilst gardening this afternoon a ringtail Hen Harrier flew northeast, the Common Buzzard flew high east out to sea only to return low southwest a few minutes later, 2 Peregrines and an unexpected movement of Corvids all flying northeast with several flocks seen flying out to sea.
