Weather: SW force 3
It was an interesting day today with some migration. The
wind was from the south west so that did not bode well but it was warm and
bright. A pair of Ravens turned up first thing with one of the Eiders. There
was a constant movement of Meadow Pipits for the whole morning so the count
number of about 50 may be an underestimate. Ringed today were 3 Goldcrests, a Reed Bunting and a Willow Warbler. The Willow Warbler was an adult, its dull colouration gives
that away,
but the other birds caught were all first years. There were only 2 Brent Geese at the north end at the start of the day but more did arrive when the tide started to rise.
The best of the waders seen were 70 Ringed Plover and 22 Curlew. The Kestrel was here.
