19th May 2025

 Weather: NNE force 3    haze

Early morning a seal was hauled out at the North End with injuries to both sides of its face, probably caused during a fight.

 Two Sandering were on the east side along with 44 Ringed Plover.

 

Only a single female Eider was recorded along with the 4 Shelduck, one of which was chasing off the Mallard and a pair of Scoter.

 

Twelve Gannets and 16 Sandwich Terns also showed on the sea.  Our resident singers on the island at present include a Willow Warbler and the White Wagtail. Bumble bees are visiting the Birds-foot Trefoil plants amongst the grassy areas.

 While Azure Damselflies can be seen almost anywhere at the moment.

 Three Red Admirals were logged this morning.
