Weather: SSW force 2, showers later, SE by late afternoon. 

After a week of fine weather we finally had rain on the island today. The Black Guillemot wasn’t seen but an immature male & female Eider were present. 

It seems that the resident Pied Wagtails may have successfully fledged young as a juvenile was seen today.

 Rock Pipits are are busy feeding young and the resident Linnets & Meadow Pipits are also in full breeding mode. 

Visitors today included Collared Dove, Swift and Goldfinch, There’s been a slight increase in Curlew numbers compared to the last few days with 5 being seen along with the first Redshanks for a while.There are still some terns abpout, more are expected soon in the build up to autumn.
