Weather: NW force 1
A quiet day in most respects with very few small waders and hirundines, no finches (apart from Linnets) and no warblers. It was a good day however for Wheatears about 20 in total, some in the afternoon being Greenland birds.
A Peregrine was also about the islands. In addition to the 200 Sandwich Terns, sea sightings were just a Great Crested Grebe and a Kittiwake, and small numbers of waders included Whimbrel, Ringed Plover, Redshank, Turnstone.There were only 2 Little Egrets recorded and a Grey Heron. Once again the 8 Rock Pipits just about exceeded the number of Meadow Pipits. Butterflies were also limited, just 2 Small Tortoiseshells, 2 Red Admirals and a Brimstone moth.
