Sunday was awesome on the point as decided to get away from the crowds at Salthouse. The day started well with the icky in the bushes near the hide complex at 7.45 am and then onto Salthouse where 1 Wryneck was seen briefly with supporting cast of Pied fly and Whinchat.
Decided to walk the point so left at around 10:30, Very little before Halfway House with 1 Redstart, 1 yellow Wagtail, 1 Reed Bunting and one bunting i wish i had got the camera on before it flew inland. 1 Wryneck before halfway house but very little else. The Wryneck was mainly elusive at the hood but finally had good views of 3 birds together. The wife had gone ahead to the plantation where there were good numbers of migrants where numbers increasing throughout the time spent there.
1 Spotted Flycatcher
2 Garden Warbler
6 + Willow Warblers
20+ Pied Flycatcher
15+ Redstarts
4 Tree Pipit
a possible Greenish but disappeared almost immediately
The walk back was incredible as there were birds everywhere
70 + Wheatear
20 + Redstart
5 + yellow wagtail
and many more migrants including 1 wryneck
