Arrived at 06.50 to find a fog bank out to sea. We met up with RDME and RHC and sea-watched as far as possible with only limited visibility until 08.50 with just a small passage recorded.
We then covered most of the sites on the Headland meeting up with RB at Belle Tout wood. Although lovely calm weather very few migrants were recorded.
