A very quiet day but not a surprise given that we're at the end of the season and now is the time for oddities and rarities.

The usual summer migrants were in their bushes but a nice surprise was the French ringed Lesser Whitethroat which reappeared with a brood patch so it must be breeding nearby. Vis-Mig included a few of Swallows and a pair continue to fly round the Battery, hopefully it won't be to long until they decide to build a nest.

Offshore a Fulmar headed south and 2 Common Terns headed north.


Vine Moth is a nationally scarce species that can be common here

Ringing: 5 Robin
