Bright & breezy & largely bird-free, but Blackbirds were shadowing across the lawn at early light.

Bit of excitement on the CEFAS Endeavour this morning when we saw this Fea's-type Petrel 17nm off the Cornish coast as we were heading towards Lundy to shelter for the next day or so.

Lots of sounds, Wren dominating, but a chacking Fieldfare overhead the 1st to show.

100s of Thrushes, of 4 species piling in, along with Bramblings, Redpolls & Chaffinches. Probably the Fieldfares first to show.

Featuring a Desertas petrel that stunned scientists by chasing a tropical storm (see their incredible chase mapped here!), tiny nightingales that cross the Sahara twice a year, and Bewick's swans that have changed their stopovers and diet

Swaro will probably replace it for free. They did for my bins.
