Petering down to a trickle of migrants. Present 5 Whitethroat, 4 Lesser Whitethroat, 3 Blackcap, 2 Wheatear, Chiffchaff & Whinchat. Offshore movements negligible although worth a mention was 250 assorted seagulls, 18 Common Tern & 2 Little Tern feeding off the point first thing. You will be pleased to hear that the first baby Starlings are now out following their parents.


Moth traps remain poor but when one is scrapping the ice from the windscreen in order to come down here early morning its not difficult to work out why. The first Heart & Dart are, however, showing up in recent days.

Ringing: 2 Blackcap, 2 Goldfinch, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Linnet, 1 Whitethroat.
