Saturday 16th July 2011

Weather consisted of a strong southerly wind with complete cloud cover. There was rain throughout the morning. Migrants observed moving through were 8 Common Scoter, 1 Gannet, 2 Bar-tailed Godwit, 4 Golden Plover, 2 Curlew, 1 Oystercatcher, 2 Common Tern, 1 Med Gull and 4 Swift. A Common Seal was seen offshore. Only 1 bird ringed today; 1 Dunnock. Two Small Ranunculus in the moth traps are worth a mention as is Pammenne aurantiana - a species we have only noted previously in 2004 and 2006.
