Weather:  ESE force 2

 A beautiful calm and mild morning but very quiet for birds at first but as time passed a few things were found. A Willow Warbler was singing, possibly the bird from yesterday and then a Chiffchaff was caught which was definitely the individual that was ringed here two days ago. A couple of Goldfinches arrived and 4 Jackdaws flew flew from the mainland, turned about and returned to the south east. Mid-morning a Sedge Warbler gave a blast of song from the SK paddock which confirmed an earlier possible sighting. A Common Blue butterfly was in the heli paddock, and the moth trap revealed a total of 7 Marbled Coronets.

 

 The was also a Shuttle-shaped Dart, a Shears and a Common Pug.
