Light northerly wind
Just three nets set at Middleton and they came up with three early morning migrant reed bunting, low single figures of chiffchaff and blackcap, one goldcrest, a couple of grey wagtail and a few meadow pipit. The meadow pipit passage suddenly dried up about 0930 just as we thought it would 'get going'!
Two adult and one 2cy med were all the foreshore had to offer at low tide
