The Short-toed Treecreeper was again present for visiting birders to see. It was retraped and reweighed. It now weighs 8.2 grams which is excellent as when first caught only weighed 7.6 grams. Other birds of interest included a nice male Firecrest, 3 Black Redstarts of which 2 were fine males, 5 Wheatear and 6 Chiffchaff. 2 Red-throated Divers were seen moving north and 15 Brent Geese were also passing through. There was a Grey Seal offshore. Also late news of our first Swallow of the year flying north in the afternoon.
