Weather: ESE force 3/4
A single Willow Warbler made it here today but no sign of any Whitethroats etc, although 2 male Greenland Wheatears were present.
Two House Martins and the second Swift of the year passed through and a Goldfinch and a Woodpigeon showed on the island. Other species noted were 6 Eiders, 5 Little Egrets, 7 Shelduck, 2 Common Scoter, 20 Sandwich Terns and 3 Whimbrel and a Sanderling among the waders. Bird of the day arrived at noon when a Short-eared owl flew east from Hilbre towards the north shore and then went low over the beach to Wirral.
Three frogs were seen scurrying through the grass.
Green-veined white butterflies are still on the wing, 3 today.
Ringed: 1 Linnet.
