The first trip of the day to the North End had a Tree
Sparrow fly over and up the island, it was later located in the Heli garden
where it was just visible for long enough to take a couple of poor photos, it
then dropped further into a bramble patch and was not relocated again. Tree Sparrow is a very scarce less than annual visitor to the island.
Also on
the island were a Greenfinch, 2 Dunnock, a Song Thrush, 2 Meadow Pipit
and a Rock Pipit.
Six Eider are still present and 76 Common Scoter were on the
sea, Brent Geese numbered 242 with 3 colour ringed birds noted.
Among the waders were 46 Grey Plover, 1 Ringed Plover, 16
Bar-tailed Godwit, 90 Dunlin, 50 Knot and a Purple Sandpiper.
