Another quiet morning without any significant number of migrants (surely it will happen soon!), 
the only real improvement was the 6 Greenland Wheatears (left) mostly feeding along the west side ridge, 2 of which were trapped for ringing. A fair number of Lesser Redpolls passed overhead with a Tree Pipit and Yellow Wagtail ( the first record this year) and a few Goldfinches. Two Willow Warblers were the only new visitors to the trapping area in the paddocks. There was small trickle of hirundines up to 10.00hrs when 2 Sand Martins and 3 Swallows were logged.

Ringed:- 2 Greenland Wheatears, 1 Meadow Pipit, 1 Willow Warbler.
