A fairly quiet day with surprisingly little bird migration of note. The winds continue to blow in an east north-easterly direction. Seawatching early to late morning produced 57 Common Tern flying north along with 3 Arctic Tern, 1 Fulmar, 7 Cormorant, 38 Bar-tailed Godwit, 2 Oystercatcher and 25 Common Gull. The highlight of the day is the
Shorelark still present on the reserve along with 8 Wheataer, 8 Shelduck and 10 Meadow Pipit. 2 Lesser Whitethroat were heard singing and 5 Common Whitethroat and 1 Willow Warbler were also recorded. 2 birds ringed today: 1 Common Whitethroat and 1 Willow Warbler. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day here at Landguard!
