A Short-eared Owl is only our fourth August sighting on record resulting in speculation as to whether this will turn out to be a good owl autumn ? A reasonable arrival of departing British migrants despite the breezy conditions including 30 Willow Warbler, 6 Whitethroat, 4 Lesser Whitethroat, 4 Wheatear, 3 Yellow Wag & 2 Sedge Warbler. Southbound 5 Sand Martin & 2 Swallow plus offshore 9 Turnstone, 8 Ringed Plover & a Common Tern.
White Point was formerly just a scarce migrant with a slow colonisation getting established from the 1960's onwards to the point where they now part of the scenery.
Ringing: 16 Willow Warbler, 1 Lesser Whitethroat.
