Its the time of the year when a mellee of gulls & terns is starting to collect off the point as the tide turns to go out. Unfortunately the Roseate Tern that had been offshore earlier in the morning failed to join them. A minimum of 48 Common Tern & 21 Little Tern offshore plus north bound a further 16 Little, 9 Sandwich & a single Arctic. Fairly quiet in the bushes with the cold easterly wind not bringing owt of note. Worth a mention were a trio of Barnacle, Canada & Greylag going past, 2 Jackdaw, Skylark, Siskin but down to just a single Wheatear. On the beach 9 Sanderling plus a Turnstone by the point. A Striped Hawk-moth is a very notable migrant that was not expected this early in the season - we have had a couple previously in 2004 & 2009.
Ringing: 2 chiffchaff, 1 blackcap.
