Weather: SE force 2 NNE 3 mid-afternoon
A Common Sandpiper still here this morning in the area of the whaleback, probably one of the 2 here over the last 2 days. Fifty Ringed Plover, 600 Dunlin and 7 Whimbrel were the pick of the other waders. Eight Eiders were logged and 8 Shelduck flew up the estuary as the morning tide dropped. There were 600 Sandwich Terns and 24 Little Terns resting with the roost on the east hoyle. Shorebirds included 4 Little Egrets and 2 Grey Herons. Two Peregrines were seen following few sightings lately but the Kestrel did not let us down, it flew straight over the island going east to west. There were no migrant small birds noted today. A few butterflies flew including 3 Red Admirals, 2 Green-veined Whites and a Peacock.
