The North Easterly wind didn't let up today and continued to produce very few birds on land, apart from our breeding species on-site. A sea watch during the first few hours of the morning produced 8 Gannet, 2 Kittiwake, 2 Fulmar, 2 Razorbill, 1 Mediterranean Gull, 23 Common Tern, 15 Little Tern and 4 Sandwich Tern, which was the best of the rest available to us today. 

New migrants came in the form of 4 Goldfinch and 2 Swallow. 

Despite the cool windy conditions and low number of moths, a few more species are starting to appear including the first Light Brocade of the year. 

Ringing: 7 birds ringed during the morning including 6 Linnet and 1 House Sparrow.
