Orange Tips are present just outside the recording area along View Point Road north of the Custom's House but only occasional does one wander down to visit us.
Glorious start with the wind increasing as the day progressed. Migrants hard to come by although 8 Sanderling were on the beach & 3 Wheatear on the reserve. 4 Swallow & 2 Yellow Wagtail went south plus 35 Common Scoter south offshore. In the bushes it's becoming a case of Lesser Whitethroats & Whitethroats pairing up in their territories plus a returning male Blackcap from last year singing in the observatory compound.
Chamomile Shark is only noted a couple of times annually but is obviously present at a low population density and always a joy to see.
Ringing: nil.
