Weather: WSW force 2 some haze later
Ten Canada Geese were on the East Hoyle tide edge early morning and the only small waders seen all day fed in the ebbing Gutter, 45 Dunlin, 24 Ringed Plover with a single Turnstone amongst them.
On the morning ebb 90 Gannets were noted, most were in the swash off the west side.
Further out were a similar number of Sandwich Terns and just a handful of Common. A pair of Pied Wagtail were also present and looked like they might have been prospecting for a nest site.
The only small migrants today were a couple of Skylarks. The 4 regular Eiders are present. At high tide 2 Kestrel flew over from the golf course but only stayed very briefly.
Among the breeding birds both Rock and Meadow Pipits were busy finding food for their chicks and 3 Wren displayed around the island.
