At first light 22 Brent headed out of the river and turned north, evidently they've decided its finally time to go. In the bushes a couple of Willow Warblers sang half heatedly, 2 female Blackcaps joined the singing male and a Spotted Flycatcher was in the Poplars late in the morning.
Vis-mig included 32 Swallows, 3 Sand Martins and a House Martin. A Wheatear was by the Tank Blocks and 4 Sanderling were on the Jetty.
On the Sea, 4 Common Terns were feeding offshore with 3 Little Terns and a Whimbrel headed north.
Notocelia trimaculana has only been noted in three previous years despite being common nationally.
Ringing: 2 Blackcap, 2 Linnet, 2 Willow Warbler
