Some fog again early with very light north easterly winds, but scarce Hilbre species arrived towards midday in response to the approach of some rain. Unusual birds ringed were 2 Tree Sparrows, a Fieldfare and a Blue Tit. It seems that so far this year we are ringing quite a few species that do not occur in the totals every year, let's hope it will continue! There were not quite as many Meadow Pipits today and just 2 Pied Wagtails, 2 Chaffinches and a White Wagtail.Shore counts included 190 Brent Geese, 200 Shelduck, 450 Curlew, 240 Turnstones and 50+ Redshanks.
