Weather: NNE force 3/4
The Brent reached a peak of 66 birds today,
and a male Eider flew to the north west. An immature female Sparrowhawk (below) made a welcome appearance and the Kestrel (bottom) still humted the now more numerous voles on the island.
Ten Wrens at this time probably means there are a few 'migrants' amongst them. The best on the sea was a summer plumaged Red-throated Diver, also logged were 65 Common Scoter and 1 Great Crested Grebe. Cormorants totalled 650, most were heading out to sea early morning.
Eighty five Linnets toured the island in flocks, the only other finches were 2 Goldfinch. Only half a dozen Meadow Pipits were recorded.
