30th July 2025

 Weather: NNW force 2/3,  rain clearing then W 4 later

A Willow Warbler was on the island and 2 Sand Martins came through while the regular breeding birds included the 2 Goldfinch, adult Pied Wagtail and adult Robin. A single Black-tailed Godwit would be one of the first here on Wirral for the autumn, a couple of their Bar-tailed cousins and 3 Whimbrel were the best of the other waders. A Common Seal hauled out with 292 Grey Seals and just 60 Sandwich Terns were here today. The Kestrel was about the island. A Red Admiral and a Small White were the only butterflies noted.
