Over 200 Curlew were around the islands today, together with
4 Whimbrel 11 Dunlin, 3 Turnstone and 6 Redshank. Noted on the sea was a
single Manx Sheartwater, 31 Gannet and the immature male Eider, also 228
Sandwich Tern and 29 Common.
The Pied Wagtails have a second brood with at least 3
Chicks.
There were 19 Swallows about with 4 juvs ‘parking’ themselves on the
obs balcony and ignoring the adult birds alarm call as observers came and went.
A Kestrel was about the island briefly.
A Emperor Dragonfly was again in the SK paddock with quite a
few Small White and Green- veined White Butterflies but not in such large
numbers as a few days ago, 12 Six-spot Burnet Moth were also noted.
