Weather: S force 2 cloudy
A very quiet morning, as you can possibly tell when I say that a Peregrine passing down the west side was a highlight.
Four Shags were in the party gathering at the north end rocks today. After checking the island soon after dawn it appeared there were no warblers or crests present but a little later a Willow Warbler could be heard giving quiet calls behind the obs garden fence without showing itself. Even the regular Wheatears seen this week were absent. Three Swallows came to feed while passing through while 4 Robins on the island meant at least a couple were recent arrivals. The Kestrel was perched on one of it's regular posts.
Most Linnets seem to have left now, just a few noisy birds created a clamour.
Six Rock Pipits were seen but only a single Meadow Pipit showed itself. Only a single Whimbrel noted this morning but the German ringed Curlew was still here amongst the 30 present.
Other waders included 30 Dunlin, 20 Turnstone and 100 Ringed Plover. During the evening a Mediterranean Gull was sighted on the north shore and a Greenshank called in the gutter.
Ringed: 1 Robin
