Lot quieter this morning although still some interest with the likes of southbound 168 Goldfinch, 78 Swallow, 16 Cormorant, 15 Mipit, 8 Grey Plover, 7 Dunlin, 7 House Martin, 4 Skylark, 3 Chaffinch, 2 Common Gull, 2 Sandwich Tern, 2 Siskin, 1 Brent, 1 Kitt & 1 Purple Sandpiper with northbound 4 Gannet, 2 Sandwich Tern & Arctic Tern. On site migrants included a small handful of Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps, 2 Goldcrest, 2 Wheatear, Redwing, Song Thrush plus 2 Cetti's including a 5th one ringed so far this week which is totally unprecedented.


Moth traps very quiet this morning so here's a Radford's Flame Shoulder from yesterday which is, hopefully, the first of many still to come.

Ringing: 4 Chiffchaff, 1 Blackcap, 1 Cetti's Warbler.
