A light easterly breeze gave hope but failed to deliver. Another juvenile Cuckoo passing through was the highlight with very few other migrants on site. Southbound 21 Cormorant, 11 Common Scoter, 3 Swallow & Grey Heron. 32 Common Tern were feeding offshore early on & a juv Black Redstart was having a bath at the cottage.

Kent Black Arches is yet another nationally scarce species we have on site presumably living on Brambles here.

Ringing 2 Goldfinch, 1 House Sparrow, 1 Linnet.
