Weather: E 1 vis 5mls
A Blue Tit could be heard frequently but would not show
itself, presumably yesterday’s bird. A single Wheatear was again present and two
extra Swallows had joined the eight breeding birds on the island, both male and
female Pied Wagtail were seen.
The 2 Eider were off the west side and 4 Shelduck flew over
Middle. The sea was very quiet with only 8 Gannet and a couple each of Great
Crested Grebe and Guillemot, although Sandwich Tern numbers had increased to
120 with a good number on the rocks in the lagoon as the tide ebbed. Common
Tern numbered 35 with a couple feeding close to the west side
A small flock of 23 Dunlin roosted at the North End over
tide along with 7 Turnstone, a couple of which were in summer plumage.
Three Whimbrel were also present. A Peregrine was on the sands between the islands and Red Rocks, 1 Little Egret and 3 Heron were feeding around the islands from first light.
