At dawn this morning it was evident that most of yesterday's migrants had cleared off the site and moved on elsewhere. However, there were still the odd birds scattered about.
13 Swallow, 33 Common Tern, 2 Sandwich Tern, 2 Whimbrel, 1 Rook, 2 Jay, 1 Reed Warbler, 1 Male Whinchat, (see above picture), 5 Common Whitethroat, 4 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Blackcap, 2 Yellow Wagtail and 15 Wheatear were still hanging around the observatory and nature reserve.
Very quite elsewhere and even the moth traps were rather quiet.
Ringing: 16 birds ringed during the morning including 7 Wheatear, 4 Linnet, 2 Blackcap, 1 Chaffinch, 1 Goldfinch and 1 Common Whitethroat.
