Another day of fine weather, a light northerly breeze and a bit of cloud and haze which dropped a few birds in at first light.
A 'Continental' race Song Thrush was singing away at first light, and two 'continental' Robins were caught in the nets, so there are still a few wintering birds passing through. At least 4 Lesser Whitethroats and 3 Whitethroats were singing around the reserve. Other migrants passing through included a 3 Yellow Wagtails and 3 Swallows passing over, Chiffchaff, a Willow Warbler, 3 Blackcap, 5 Wheatear and the Ring Ouzel was again by the Practice Guns.
On the sea 2 Whimbrel, 2 Fulmar and a Brent Goose headed north. A Common Seal was also seen offshore.
Ringing: 2 Blackcap, 2 Robin, 1 Linnet, 1 Whitethroat, 1 Willow Warbler
