9th June 2013

Another quiet day on the island, despite the continuing south easterly airflow, but a solitary late Chiffchaff spent some time around the trapping area.

Some good local news: we've had good numbers of Common Terns off the island recently, particularly off the West Hoyle sandback and in the mouth of the Dee, and news from the Merseyside Ringing Group is that over 400 have been seen back at Shotton this summer.  However, it is still early days yet.
