The continued north westerly winds further halted any left over migrants from making their way to the observatory this morning. A few individuals did seem to appear though during the course of the morning which included 36 Swallow, 16 House Martin, 1 Swift, 1 Chiffchaff, 2 Goldfinch, 5 Jackdaw, 1 Little Egret, 3 Little Tern, 2 Common Tern, 1 Little Gull, 1 Hobby and 1 Turtle Dove.

A total of 139 Brent Geese made their way out to sea heading North.

This Azure Damselfly was found this morning and the first record of the year for the observatory.

Ringing: 7 birds ringed during the morning including 2 Dunnock, 2 Greenfinch, 1 Robin, 1 Blackbird and 1 Chiffchaff.
