Still a slow trickle of birds today, the female Serin was again found out on the reserve near the sea-watch hide. A couple of Blackcap and a Chiffchaff ringed, along with the first brood of Meadow Pipits. The terns put on a good show feeding just of the point with maximum counts of 41 Common and 26 Little Tern, 3 Sarnies also passed through. Still a good number of Wheatears out and about and Swallows came in waves Southbound, amounting to 60 by late morning. A single House Martin, 19 Goldfinch and a Yellow Wagtail were also heading South. A Grey Heron moving North was a change from the usual fare. With some Easterly winds approaching we wait in hope for a few more avian visitors.
