A quiet day with no real passage, just a few Meadow Pipits and Pied Wagtails over and an amount of Wrens and Robins that suggested extras on the island. One Robin that was trapped had not been seen since it was ringed in September 2006, and has either been very elusive or more likely has just made a return visit.
A Merlin, probably one from yesterday, hung around all morning being seen on the fences of the bungalows and the old obs garden (right) . It evaded capture despite eating a bird in the entrance to the Newton trap!
Plenty of waders to be seen including a Turnstone ringed this autumn (left).
