Moorhen is todays oddity as it is not a species we record annually. A spring Tree Pipit is also notable these days as they get scarcer over the years. Migrants include 7 Wheatear, 6 Blackcap, 6 Chiffchaff, 6 Song Thrush, 4 Whimbrel, 3 Willow Warbler, 2 Black Redstart, 2 Sandwich Tern, Sand Martin & Swallow. Murky offshore with only a Red-throated Diver worth a mention.


Double-striped Pug should be common but only a couple have appeared so far this year.

Ringing: 6 Blackcap, 5 Linnet, 3 Chiffchaff, 3 Song Thrush, 3 Willow Warbler, 1 Blackbird, 1 Goldcrest, 1 Robin.
