The continuing strong north easterly wind proves to be unproductive for anything scarcer or rarer, there's still time yet though. New migrants today included 6 Swift and 5 Goldfinch. Very quiet otherwise on land. Apart from our breeding Common and Lesser Whitethroats, the bushes are quiet.
Offshore, 13 Common Tern, 11 Little Tern, 2 Sandwich Tern, 10 Gannet, 3 Razorbill, 4 Sanderling and 12 Common Scoter were the best of the rest.
Out on the nature reserve, the Bird's-foot-trefoil is putting on quiet a show at the moment, covering certain areas of the peninsula - well worth a look at.
A good day for ringing, if nothing else.
Ringing: 21 birds ringed during the morning including 16 Linnet, 2 Greenfinch, 2 Goldfinch and 1 Dunnock.
