A warm breezy morning with a small movement of waders.
The Black Headed Gulls continue to head south with 88 logged this morning. There was a nice mixture of waders, with 20 Oystercatcher, 9 Curlew, 4 Whimbrel, 2 Dunlin, an Avocet and a Redshank heading south and a Turnstone was on the Jetty. Also out at sea were 2 Gannets heading north and 6 Common Scoter, 2 Sandwich Terns and a Fulmar heading south.
A juvenile Skylark was in the fenced off area and a Black Redstart was feeding around the Museum, although the bushes around the Observatory were rather quiet.
The Small Ranunculus is a Red Data Book species that lives here on Prickly Lettuce. It became extinct in the UK in the early part of the last century and then recolonised from 1997 on wards.
Ringing: 2 Linnet, 1 Goldfinch, 1 Wren
