Baby Herring Gulls on the museum roof.

Heavy rain before first light with miserable drizzle up to 8am.

A loud kerfuffle from the blackbirds in one of the Holm Oak this morning turned out to be a Cuckoo, trying its best to shelter from the worst of the weather. Apart from this, it was rather quiet with a Chiffchaff and a Blackcap being the only other birds in the bushes.

Once the visibility on the sea had got better a Redshank and a Whimbrel headed south and 9 Common Terns and 2 Sandwich Terns were feeding offshore.


The first Rosy Minor of the year was in the trap this morning although its only caught here in small numbers.

Ringing: 1 Blackcap, 1 House Sparrow, 1 Wren
