Weather: W force 4 warm and dry
A visiting group were very pleasant and seemed to enjoy their afternoon with us. It was one of those lovely, warm Hilbre summer days with lots of Sandwich Terns (about 500) providing the sound track. A Gannet and 2 Common Scoter were also noted on the sea and 4 Little Egrets and a Grey Heron on the shore in addition to the female Eider. Six Curlew and 14 Grey Plover were the waders on the list. A Chiffchaff was the only warbler today although also present were 2 White Wagtails (1 juvenile) and a Pied Wagtail. The Chiffchaff became ringed as did one of the 40 or Linnets on the island, and a Wren.
