5th June 2013

Weather: E 0-1, 6/8 cloud, slight mist early on

Not a single grounded migrant this morning but a beautiful day on the island was also enjoyed by the Rabbit which fed happily on the path over the quiet morning tide.

Seven Swifts passed overhead and then local Swallows were supplemented by seven more immigrants.

Five Whimbrel was noteworthy along with 4 Curlew and the most interesting sighting was a small passage of 28 Shelduck in two groups incoming from the North East and heading South West down the estuary.
