Weather: SSW force 3
An unexpected visit in the afternoon to see a Firecrest found in the rangers garden by Matt Thomas, found it still present and already feeding in the SK trap. It was naturally then ringed.
A Stonechat was also present on the island with 2 Wheatears and a Goldcrest. The Brent had increased to 40, and the small number of waders seen included a summer plumaged Grey Plover. The fiekld voles are now numerous (14 seen today), no wonder the Kestrel has been around so much lately. A late Hummingbird Hawk moth in the obs garden before the rain arrived was a real bonus for the observers.
