Another try at vis. migging on this Pit Tip this morning proved slightly more successful with two Sand Martin low over heading south, and singles of Common Whitethroat and Chiffchaff stuck down. Good numbers of Meadow Pipit were moving with a fairly decent fortyish birds on the Grassland and another ten straight over south. Also of note were a female Sparrowhawk being mobbed by two Magpie in the Plantation, a single Kestrel hunting low over the Pit Tip Top, a juvenile Green Woodpecker alarm calling from the Planatation, and my first Skylark since they stopped singing.
