Weather: NNE force 4 sunny
A more pleasent day after the wind and rain saw a Shag at the north end first thing, also a couple of Common Scoters but only the female stayed to be captured on film.
A Barn Owl waited until 09.30 to appear this morning but at least it was in the sunlight.
It looked like there had been a wreck of razor clams which accounted for the 4000 Herring Gulls that were feeding off the north east corner of the island.
Most of the small birds on the island had probably been here for some time, there were 5 Blackbirds, 5 Wrens and 4 Robins, one of which was a juvenile and it was caught for ringing.
The sole definite 'migrant' was a Starling and on the shore were 2 Little Egrets and the reliable Kestrel was hunting the island. Some numbers among the waders were 1,100 Knot, 80 Dunlin and 30 Redshank.
