Perfect and long awaited light South Easterly winds today. Very little moving over head bar some light Finch movement first thing.
At 09.15 I picked up at Honey Buzzard over the sea coming in towards the Eastern docks, I stood at the West end of Langdon on the tramway and did my usual trick of legging it to where I think it will arrive which did some good but views were still fairly distant.
A fairly standard arrival here without the close views or chasing from gulls that make them more memorable. Peter Erdmans also had a nice male HB arrive at Langdon and one came in at Abbots cliff too, so a good day for channel crossing as expected. I’m away over the bank holiday weekend, I may live to regret it, but good luck to all who get out!
