A calmer day with a few spots of rain. Quiet on the migrant front, especially for warblers. only 2 chiffchaffs observed and 4 blackcaps. 2 marsh harrier were a nice surprise, both first years, one heading back inland and the other towards the town. Linnet numbers are building up with 100 present today. A white wagtail is a little late to the party after three races of yellow wagtail turning up earlier in the month. The rock pipit remains on the jetty and good numbers of robins are still in the compound with a couple of continental song thrush new in.
Small Mottled Willow is an immigrant that appears most years recently, with four in one trap this morning being exceptional.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 2, Blue Tit 1, Garden Warbler 1, Meadow Pipit 1, Robin 1, Song Thrush 2, Wren 1.
