Weather: SSE force 3
The winds were in a favourable direction this morning but migration to the islands was in short supply. One of the highlights were a couple of Greenshanks calling to each other around the island.
Three Willow Warblers made it here, but only one was caught for ringing.
While the single Wheatear kept to the usual habitat occupied by this species.
There were a few Meadow Pipits passing through, also 6 Swallows and a Grey Wagtail. Apart from the Greenshank other wader records were 35 Ringed Plover, 14 Turnstone, 4 Whimbrel, a Sanderling and a Bar-tailed Godwit. Around the island fed 2 Common Scoter, 4 Shelduck, 6 Little Egrets and a Grey Heron. The Kestrel kept an eye on things from it's lofty perch.
A Raven flew down the west side and over to Middle and there were a few Sandwich Terns around. The butterflies noted were 4 Large White, 2 Red Admiral and a Small White.
