The wind direction was west north-westerly, one of the worst winds possible for anything of interest to reach us at Landguard! Not surprisingly a very quiet day with little of real interest found! The highlight was 10 Crossbill migrating south, they dropped into the front trees of the Bird Observatory compound briefly, but not for long! Landguard has had quite a lot of Crossbill throughout May this year, most unusual for here! Also passing through were 1 Fulmar, 2 Gadwall, 2 Sandwich Tern, 9 Swallow and 3 House Martin. 2 birds ringed today; 1 young Wren and 1 young Dunnock. The Grey Squirrel was sighted out on the reserve.
