A day of light northerly breezes, with a chill in the air before the sun gained some height.
With the breeze came a few birds in the bushes. 8 Willow Warbler, 4 Whitethroats, 2 Lesser Whitethroat, a Garden Warbler and a lingering and a new Pied Flycatcher were round the Observatory. There was a bit of vis-mig, 2 Rooks, 2 Grey Wagtails, a Swift and a Buzzard headed south.
A Wheatear and 2 Sparrowhawks were on the reserve.
On the sea a Dunlin, 7 Shelduck and 2 Greys Heron headed south and an Oystercatcher, 4 Sandwich Terns and 4 Common Terns headed north.
The temperature affected the moth traps overnight, with only common species such as the Flounced Rustics being caught, as they have been throughout the month.
Ringing: 4 Willow Warbler, 2 Robin, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Garden Warbler, 1 Pied Flycatcher.
