A cool start to the day with a light north easterly breeze. There were a few more Phylloscopus around today, with 5 Chiffchaffs and 2 Willow Warblers in the Poplars and around the Fort. A Firecrest, Siskin and a Blackcap were also in the bushes.
On the Reserve were 24 Shelduck and at least 14 Wheatears. A Lesser Whitethroat was towards Customs House and a Woodlark flew over heading east. A single Turnstone was still on the Jetty.
On the sea a Great-northern Diver, a Kittiwake and a Fulmar flew north and 14 Mediterranean Gulls flew south.
In the afternoon a Fieldfare appeared behind the Obs, a Bar-tailed Godwit and Whimbrel headed upriver and there was a small arrival of Wheatears, of which 6 were ringed and all proved to be the Greenland leucohora subspecies based on biometrics.
Ringing: 6 Wheatear, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Firecrest, 1 Song Thrush
