The weather early morning consisted of a slightly gentle south-easterly wind with complete cloud cover. Later in the morning there was a few spots of rain but nothing serious. It was extremely quiet yet again today! The first Swift of the year went south as did a Cormorant, 15 Swallow and a Goldfinch. A Sandwich Tern was seen heading north and 3 Common Tern were also on the move. Only 1 Wheatear was recorded out on the reserve. Only 2 birds ringed today; 1 Lesser Whitethroat and 1 Woodpigeon. A Slow Worm was seen on a path whilst undertaking the morning bird ringing.
