13th August 2011

Two Willow Warblers and a Whitethroat were the only warblers present today, 8 Whimbrel were on the shore and 5 Arctic Skuas identified on the sea. Males of both Peregrine and Kestrel were the only raptors. At 20.00 hrs in the evening tern counts were made on the east side of the island, and totalled 120 Common and a very high number of 1,520 Sandwich, which could be close to a record number.
