Things were much quieter on the sea and the light north west wind and clear blue skies did little to produce many grounded warblers with just a single Willow Warbler noted.
However, Wheatears were moving through with 8 birds counted today including 4 on Wheatear hill at any one time. Unfortunately they were being kept away from the potter traps by the resident Rock Pipits with two birds (an adult and a young one) retrapped (from March and July respectively).
The moulting Yellowhammer was still present but still being fairly elusive.
A few waders were noted including 5 Whimbrel and terns were less noticeable but there was a large Sandwich Tern roost after the tide in the evening.
The juvenile Robin was still present.
Ringing: retraps only Rock Pipit (2), Robin (1)
