Weather: SSW force 5/6
After a cool week or so in the month of May a brief visit found it somewhat milder but little evidence of much spring movement although a single Wheatear was about and 2 Redpolls passed through. Some fledged birds were seen on the island, a juvenile Blackbird was in the obs garden and a young Rock Pipit was in Telegraph west paddock.
Just 4 local Swallows flew over the island. The White Wagtail which has been a feature this spring is still here. Waders also lingering here were 120 Dunlin and 39 Ringed Plover and 2 Turnstone. Three Shelduck were noted, also 3 Little Egrets and 2 Grey Herons. A Painted Lady brightened up the scene.
