2 Sanderling were on the beach in the afternoon.

Migrants hard to come by but included 2 Chiffchaff, Reed Warbler & Willow Warbler. Heading south 12 Swallow & House Martin. 76 Brent headed out then East with one sitting on the reserve with the local Shelduck for 45 minutes early morning obviously not fancying a long flight today. First baby Linnets are out to play plus young House Sparrows now starting to wander across to see us to get some jewellery.

Epiblema scutulana is one of those "bird poo" lookalikes that are starting to appear.

Ringing: 5 Linnet, 2 House Sparrow, 1 Starling, 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Wren.
