25th July 2025

 Weather: SW force 2

The slight southerly element in the wind this morning brought the first Willow Warbler of the autumn to be ringed on the island. There were 400 Sandwich and 4 Common Terns and the female Eider showed up. Others here were 9 little Egrets, 2 Grey Herons, 150 Dunlin, 6 Turnstones while passerines noted included 68 Linnets, 3 Blackbirds, 6 Meadow Pipits and 8 Rock Pipits. The moth trap this morning was a worthwhile exercise with a long list of species.
