Weather: SW force 4, increasing force 6 with some rain mid-morning
Two Willow Warbler migrants were the only new small birds here this morning.
There were quite a few breeders still around however including a couple of juvenile Swallows among the 7 present.
Ten Rock Pipits on the islands included a brood of 4 unringed birds at the north end, 3 adult Blackbirds were noted.
Others in the gardens/paddocks were 2 Goldfinches, a Meadow Pipit and a Robin in addition to the forty or so Linnets. The late sitting Woodpigeon still keeps an eye on the visitors.
Sandwich Terns amount to about 300 today, also a Common Tern. A couple of Common Scoter showed well on the rocks.
The most interesting of the gulls was this Black-headed Gull between Little and Middle Eye that was originally ringed in Northern Island in 2015.
A hundred Ringed Plover was a good number and 2 Whimbrel were here with 2 Bar-tailed Godwit.
There were 6 Little Egret and 4 Grey Heron, while the female Kestrel hunted the island.
