A fine morning with bright sun and a flat calm sea, and very few birds! Half a dozen new birds were ringed, including another Blackcap and Chiffchaff. A Yellowhammer, Grey Wagtail and a couple of Pied Wag's all went South during the morning and a handful; of Redwing moved off before first light. 16 Shelduck were on the reserve before it got too busy, all seeming to be paired up for the spring.
