Weather: WNW force 5 slight drizzle later
The north westerly failed to give us any migrants as expected, and a Swift was probably the only passing bird of any note. Still present is the White Wagtail, it has been a star here at this quiet time of the spring and now the nest has failed the female is also on view. Six Swallows were about the island, also 8 Meadow Pipits, 6 Rock Pipits, 20 Linnets and 4 Blackbirds. Eiders did not let us down even if only a single female showed up. Four Shelduck and 2 Little Egrets were logged as well as several species of wader: 25 Dunlin, 3 Turnstone, 2 Curlew and 22 Ringed Plover. A lovely Brown silver-line moth was definitely worth seeing.
