21st September 2025

Weather: NNE  cool , mostly sunny

 A cool northerly breeze on the island today with a distinct chill in the air. A real autumnal feel with Robins ticking in bushes and  Pinkfooted Geese, Skylark and Grey Wagtail flying over. There was a small passage of Meadow Pipits early morning with 34  being logged A Stonechat spent most of the day in the bracken at the south end of the island.

 

 ............ whilst two Wheatears enjoyed the shelter of the West side.

 

 

 

Seven Pale-bellied Brent Geese and Twenty Knot were on the Whaleback before being pushed off by the flooding tide.

 

 Wader numbers are increasing with 33 Turnstone and 31 Redshanks roosting in Niffy Bay. 2500 Oystercatcher roosted on Middle Eye over the high tide whilst a single Swallow flew over heading south. The sun brought out couple of Red Admirals.

 Ringed: 5 Robins
