Another thing I forgot to mention on this list is that while several of us were watching the Wheatear yesterday, it was calling repeatedly (high-pitched whistle).

I'm wondering if it ever reappeared. Checking with a couple of the many kiteboarders out there, I was told that they had clocked the winds at 21mph gusting to 28. Where the bird was sitting, it was probably somewhat protected, but we weren't.
