A cool south westerly wind today with intermittent heavy spells of rain produced a few new migrants for us.
Migrants today included 6 Sandwich Tern, 2 Common Tern, 1 Golden Plover, 1 Pied Flycatcher, 10+ Willow Warbler, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Garden Warbler, 1 Goldfinch, 2 Swift, 1 Swallow, 3 Wheatear, 1 Whinchat, 1 Common Redstart, 3 Yellow Wagtail and a superb Osprey that headed over the docks out to sea and carried on its southerly migration.
Several young Kestrels are about at the moment, messing about on the nature reserve and some proving to be good photographic value.
Ringing: 14 birds ringed during the morning including 10 Willow Warbler, 3 Greenfinch and 1 Garden Warbler.
