Weather: WSW 2-3 increasing to 4 later, moderate visibility
As expected with the wind direction there was little about,
but 3 groups of Goldfinch totalling 20 were around the traps, as were at least
4 Phylloscs.
Wren, Dunnock and Linnet were all singing, also Swallow, Pied
Wagtail and Linnet were collecting nest material.
Waders were about in small numbers including a single
Turnstone and 5 Whimbrel, however 870 Dunlin in summer plumage were below the
obs as the tide flooded and 35 Sanderling moved north.
A single Brent and the 2 Eider are still present, 2 Grey Heron
and 6 Shelduck were noted. The sea was also quiet with the best records being 7
Red-throated Diver, 10 Common Scoter, 3 Gannet and just 2 Sandwich Tern.
