Giltar Point and Penally Range

I spent the morning birding around Penally Range and Giltar Point with one thing on my mind- Migrants. Unfortunately there was very few migrants but there was sign that birds were moving. On the beach there was a flock of 15 Sandwich Terns resting on the beach. On the top of Giltar Point a continuous passage of hirundines was clearly visible. Predominantly Swallows, averaging about 100 every 5 minutes, House Martins, 30, and the odd Sand Martin. The birds were heading in a general south easterly direction. Also on Giltar Point:

Meadow Pipit: 20
Linnet: 15
Wheatear: 1
Blackcap: 1
Whimbrel: 1 (flying in the same direction as the swallows)
Chough: 12

Walking back 3 Stonechats, a Red-legged Partridge and a Kestrel were on the Penally range.
