Blowing a gale for most of the day today and thus very few nets opened. A new Robin and Woodpigeon were ringed from the Heligoland. On the observation front a short seawatch produced a couple of Red-throated Divers, a Gannet heading North and a couple of Brents heading South. A 2nd Summer Yellow-legged Gull was amongst the Herring Gulls on the beach, providing some amusement as they smashed open snails that had emerged after yesterdays rain.
