24th June 2008


A typically quiet mid-summer day, without even an onshore wind to bring seabirds, although some common and sandwich terns were visible on the west hoyle bank. A female Peregrine flew over carrying lunch to eat on the beach.

Two Little Egrets were present around the main island all morning and 11 Swifts arrived in from the northwest just before noon. A late (or early?) Northern Wheatear was glimpsed briefly on the west side of Middle before disappearing down the cliff, not to be relocated.
