On the move 8 Crows, 2 Jackdaws, Rook & Yellowhammer going south. Migrants in the bushes non-existent. Less gulls than yesterday with the bulk of those that are with us staying well offshore. Of greater note is the fact that the local pair of Peregrines appear to be very keen on using the crows nest on the nearest green dock crane for their nuptials - much to the annoyance of the crows who successfully reared a brood at this site last year. At mid-day what was presumably yesterdays adult Iceland Gull was seen just inside the dock compound with the 2 Snow Buntings reappearing around the point in the pm.
