A quieter morning, with less birds present on site but brightened up by the female Brambling turning up in the Heligoland at first light.

On the reserve a Wheatear was still by the Tank Blocks, a White Wagtail was in with the Pieds and 21 Shelduck were on the nature reserve.

On the Sea 3 Red-breasted Mergansers headed south and a Fulmar headed north.

Ringing: 3 Blackcap, 1 Brambling, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Linnet, 1 Song Thrush.
