Willow Warbler seemed to be on the move last night with at least 9 on site, 7 of which were ringed. Other warblers included a new juvenile Blackcap only though, with other birds ringed being Goldfinch, Blackbird, Greenfinch and 7 Linnet. A Reed Warbler from a couple of days ago was Retrapped and a presumably local Lesser Whitethroat heard. Wheatears on the reserve reached the dizzying heights of 2 individuals whilst offshore 3 each of Sandwich and Common Tern, 5 Little Tern, 4 Grey Plover,  5 Common Scoter and a couple of Mediterranean Gulls whizzed by.
