Weather: SW force 2, later veering N 2
Some mist and fog again today, but migration was limited. Nine Redpolls were calling and a single was caught and ringed.
Four Siskin and 2 Goldfinches were others of their like, while 2 Tree Pipits flew over and 2 Willow Warblers were in the paddocks. A male Whitethroat may have been here since yesterday and a single male White Wagtail made a good picture while at a pool on the top of the island.
There were no martins today and most of the Swallows seemed to be the local breeding birds. Three Greenland Wheatears, 1 male and 2 females, were one more than yesterday.
A visiting Magpie just about completed the new land birds.
Bar-tailed Godwits were in good numbers, 260 today and 22 Whimbrel were about the island and 18 Ringed Plover are still present. On the sea a couple of Gannets, 120 Sandwich and 2 Common Terns were the best. Five Eiders were present toady. The Fox was in the SK paddock again, this time our photographer was quick enough on the trigger.
A Green-veined White butterfly and a Yellow-tail caterpillar were recorded.
Ringed: 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Lesser Redpoll.
