We arrived to misty conditions. Covered a number of sites on the Headland but area generally quiet. Sun broke through around 9.00 am for about 15 minutes when a party of Chiffchaffs and a few other migrants including a Garden Warbler passed through the Hotel garden but when the mist re-appeared the area again became quiet. After 3.5 hrs. we called it a day. Bob and Sarah were ringing in Whitbread Hollow and although still reasonable numbers of Blackcaps it was generally much quieter than yesterday.
