With high pressure continuing to dominate migration is slow. The two Garganey remain at the Dams and the two Great Northern Divers and Long-Tailed Duck continue in the Bay. Yesterday visible migration at the Gap included 50 Siskin and a Sand Martin. A similar situation today saw the two Great Northern Divers joined by three Red-Throated Divers and a Shelduck (the latter flying North). In the afternoon the same site was graced with the areas first Blackcap of the year and a Goosander which flew South.
