28th August 2024

 Weather: ESE force 3/4  some rain during the morning.

 It was pleasing that 2 Willow Warblers and a Chiffchaff arrived this morning, also 3 Wheatears during the day. A Willow Warbler was ringed,

 

 and also a Chiffchaff, enabling our readers to test their identification skills

There were few waders seen at the low tide, but still 120 Ringed Plover and 2 Whimbrel were noted. Another good number of Little Egrets (9), 6 Shelduck, a Grey Heron and a Peregrine were on the list. Eight Eiders also featured but only 6 Sandwich Terns, those that remain are harder to see at low tide. Between the north end and the light no less than 7 Rock Pipits were about, 5 of them with our colour rings. The calmer winds last night produced a better moth catch, including this Ruby Tiger.
