The first two Chiffchaff to be ringed this year was the main highlight of the day. The poor visibility made birding very difficult with thick fog occuring all morning, because of this seawatching from the obs was impossible! Unfortunately there was no sign of the male Black Redstart today. On the common 4 Ringed Plovers were found along with the usual 2 Oystercatchers. Also of note were 8 Meadow Pipits, 3 Song Thrush and 3 Robin. Only 5 birds ringed today, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Blackbird, 1 Song Thrush and 1 Wren.
