With clear skies overnight, a full moon and brisk westerlies, a downturn in migrants is inevitable. However, some activity did occur today, not least with the numbers of terns feeding just offshore, with 6 Common Tern(above), and an incredibly high total of 80 Sandwich terns. On site however numbers of birds were much lower, with 133 Swallows south along with 5 Sand Martin, 12 Meadow Pipit and 1 Hobby. On site, 26 Pied Wagtail, 9 Wheatear, both Yellow and Grey Wagtail and 1+ Tree Sparrow.
The moth traps were a lot quieter with no migrants(unless you include this Latticed Heath as a possible).
8 birds ringed: 3 Willow Warbler, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Wheatear, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Grey Wagtail and 1 Robin.
