A full day in the field in the strengthening easterly winds. Just a small scattering of grounded migrants, with a Pied Flycatcher by the caravan early morning and a Spotted Flycatcher and a Garden Warbler on the NOA reserve, but the obvious highlight was a HONEY BUZZARD that I picked up as it flew high WSW over the small group gathered at the observatory at 11.12hrs, probably having come in off the sea. A fairly dark individual and only my second ever at Holme. Otherwise, a Spoonbill east over the marsh, 2 Tree Pipits west and 2 Greenshanks were the best of the rest.
