Weather: Light air, misty
A lovely quiet morning with no wind discernible on the island this morning but also quiet for birds.The best sighting of the day was a Sparrowhawk that also provided the best pictures.
A female Goldcrest was also here and was then caught and ringed. We hope for a small passage now this early autumn.
Eighteen Swallows are still about the island, also 9 Rock Pipits and 9 Robins. Four Shags, 3 Grey Herons and 8 Little Egrets were logged (including a colour ringed bird). In addition to the 120 Curlew were 3 Whimbrel and 48 Ringed Plover. Butterflies arrived included a scarce Speckled Wood, 25 Red Admirals, 35 Small White (top picture) and 6 Green-veined White.
