A Willow Warbler was ringed today (left), the first for some time as the majority will be at their breeding sites now; also ringed was a juvenile Dunnock (right) which has obviously bred on the island and is the first proof of breeding in modern times.
The Lapwing from yesterday was still in the area although a Collared Dove this morning was a new arrival.
An unexpected guest was a racing pigeon that walked into the obs, examined most of the rooms and then departed out of the kitchen window only to reappear through the door later and proceded to help itself to a drink! (right). It refused any food and flew strongly off to the south later.
