Another windy morning producing only 1 juvenile Blue Tit for the ringing totals. Around 50 each of Curlew and Swift headed South along with a handful of Gannets, Bar-tailed Godwits, a Whimbrel and a Grey Plover. The Serin was again heard just outside the compound around 9am. Both pairs of Ring Plover still had young, although the newly hatched bunch were not all seen. The group visiting for Moth morning had a few nice specimens to look at, despite the blustery weather overnight, a dark form of Peppered Moth was a good record.
