Some good records today for mid-summer, the highlights being a summer plumage Black-tailed Godwit and no less than 6 Eiders.
There has been many Swallows feeding over the island this summer and this morning 60 exited a roost in the bracken an hour after dawn, an interesting development.

Five Little Egrets and 2 Grey Herons added to the mix and smaller visitors were 3 Swifts and a Goldfinch.
