Weather: SE force 4, WSW 4/5 in the afternoon
Migration still very slow with only small numbers of Willow Warblers moving through, although 6 was the best for some time, and 2 were caught for ringing in the heligoland traps.
Two more Rock Pipits added to our colour ringing scheme caught in spring traps along with a White Wagtail.
A Grey Wagtail and a Wheatear also arrived. Two more Common Snipe were here with 4 Whimbrel and 4 Sanderling. Twenty Five Sandwich Terns remain with us today. The female Kestrel has been hunting voles on the island for a few weeks now and posed perfectly as she took a rest from hunting in the strong breeze.
A Painted Lady butterfly was a bonus amongst the 6 Red Admirals and a Large White.
