Weather: WNW force 4
The post breeding Sandwich Tern roost is now building up with 265 seen today with many juveniles amongst them.
Thirty Common Terns were also present, the only other 'sea bird' seen was a single Gannet. Most of the breeding birds on the island are now doing well with another of the Swallow nests ready to fledge young ones.
There are about 60 Linnets roaming around the island.
At least 3 Rock Pipits were seen.
Song thrushes have also been sucessful, at least 3 juveniles were here with one was ringed today. Some of the waders are now beginning to return, we had 28 Curlew, 60 Knot and 8 Redshank were here.
The female Eider has been here that long that it is in danger of being ignored.
A low tide count of Grey seals arrived at the impressive number of 325 individuals. Meanwhile the Pyramid Orchid still blooms in the 'heli' paddock.
