A brisk south westerly wind brought the highest numbers we've had so far of swifts passing through, with 94 moving past throughout the morning. These were joined by 20 house martin, one of the largest day counts we've had this year, which is concerning, 28 swallow and 2 sand martin. A spotted flycatcher was in the observatory compound as was another reed warbler. Still some turnstone hanging out on the jetty, though now in full summer plumage they'll surely leave soon.


Figure of Eighty lives here on the poplars.

Birds Ringed: Chiffchaff 1, Reed Warbler 1, Spotted Flycatcher 1, Starling 1.
