Southbound 250 Black-headed Gull, 32 Swift, 16 Sand Martin, 10 Swallow, 5 Whimbrel, 4 Curlew, Kittiwake, Oyk & Sandwich Tern. 5 Lapwing came in off the sea then straight inland on their way to their moulting grounds. The usual Black Redstart was around the museum although he has stopped singing to advertise his presence & let us know he is still here. A young Song Thrush may well have been bred on site on a later breeding attempt as earlier ones failed.

We only have a couple of previous records of the nationally scarce Rose Plume which lives on Dog-rose.

Ringing: 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Song Thrush, 1 Wren.
