Two Mute Swan flew west just south of Middle Eye as an
observer approached the islands, the female Eider and a male Common Scoter were
at the North End, with singles each of Little Egret and Grey Heron present. Only 2 Common Tern and 32 Sandwich Tern were noted.
A good number (77) of Redshank for the time of year
flew around the island for much of the tide but finally settled on the east
side.
Also noted were 5 Dunlin, 28 Curlew and 650 Oystercatcher.
There was a Kestrel about and also a Magpie, possibly the
same one that has been reported on the last few visits.
Butterfly records included 6 Painted Lady and singles of
Common Blue, Small Tortoiseshell and Red Admiral. Three frogs were seen in the
lower paddock.
