Weather: SSW 5, 2/8 and sunny first thing, 8/8 and light rain by lunchtime.
With the wind switching to the south hopes of a few migrants were dashed on the early round when nothing new was noted, although a few Swallows passed over.
A flock of eleven Greylag Geese flew over the South End calling and landed on the tide edge (see below).
As the dark rain clouds approached a couple of Willow Warblers dropped in (with one caught) and a Whitethroat was found in the Newton trap.
An unseasonal Jackdaw flew over the island calling mid morning and a few Swifts (10) moved through. This sea watching was a little disappointing with single Gannet, a distant skua spp and a Razorbill the highlights.
Eight Little Egrets were seen together South of Middle on the ebbing tide and later a count of 13 was made including birds from Little Eye to 'Egret flash' below the Obs.
