Most unusual for a Bank Holiday it was nice & sunny but such conditions don't result in many migrants making landfall with just a handful of the usual early May culprits on site. Migrants included a very small handful of Wheatears, Willows, Chiffchaffs, Whitethroats, Redpoll & a longish winged male Chaffinch that has probably wintered in Western Europe & is headed north-east to Scandinavia. Yet another Jay passed through this morning. On the move, going south 24 Swallows, 19 Goldfinch & a Barnacle Goose plus going north 7 Swallows & 2 Swifts going north. Offshore 26 Arctic Terns & 7 Little Terns went north with a couple of Common & Little Terns loitering. 8 Dunlin came in off & up river. Finally 4 Porpoise noted.
10 birds ringed : 2 Linnet, 2 Willow Warbler, 2 Chiffchaff, 2 Whitethroat, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Great Tit.
