Weather: SE sunny and warm
A Wheatear was ringed today, a bird in plumage that most have never seen. It was a nominate race, first year bird that
had just started its post juvenile moult, the picture shows its robin like
spotty plumage.
There
was a single male, scoter lounging at the North End before the tide and a
little egret fishing there after the tide.
There were a lot of sandwich terns
flying past during the tide with food for their young, arouind 200 but it could
have been more.
There were 5 Pied Wagtails including this juv in the picture.
There were plenty of butterflies, the nicest being a comma. Only 69 Grey Seals could be counted.
Ringed: 1 Wheatear. [ 576-30 ]
