The wind direction was south-easterly and slightly breezy, becoming more windy as the day went on. There was quite a bit of cloud cover. Birds migrating through were 48 Common Tern, 3 Arctic Tern, 1 adult Mediterranean Gull, 4 Cormorant, 3 Whimbrel, 30 Swallow, 1 Sand Martin, 1 Skylark and 17 Goldfinch. Out on the reserve was the long staying Shorelark and 5 Wheatear. 3 Lesser Whitethroat and 5 Common Whitethroat were recorded. Only 1 bird ringed today; 1 Woodpigeon. Very poor considering the weather conditions and the time of year!
