Yet more rain early morning. On site 5 Lesser 'throat, 5 Whitethroat, 4 Wheatear, 3 Chiffchaff, 2 Blackcap, 2 Willow Warbler & Reed Warbler. Heading north 26 Cormorant, 11 Shelduck,  9 Common Tern, 4 Little Tern, 4 Swallow, 2 Brent, 2 Gannet & 2 Sandwich Tern with southbound 10 Dunlin, 6 Cormorant, 4 Swallow, 2 Sandwich Tern, Fulmar, Gannet, Grey Wagtail & Hobby. Grey Wag is notable for the time of the year but some pairs do nest very early so it may be a dispersing juvenile ?


Brimstone brings a splash of colour - it is probably feeding on Hawthorn here.

Ringing: 3 Chiffchaff, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Willow Warbler.
