A windy start to the morning but gradually turning into a breezy pleasant morning.
Apart from a Pied Flycatcher behind the kitchen late morning and a few Willow warblers, the bushes were largely quiet. A late Swift passed overheard and couple of large flock of Starlings and mixed finches moved out to feed on the reserve.
The Black Redstart was in its usual spot and 6 Wheatears were out on the reserve including at least one bird which has been loitering for a few days feeding up.
On the sea there was a bit more variety with 14 Teal, 4 Shelduck, a Gadwall, a Grey Plover, a Turnstone and 2 Fulmar headed south.
Oncocera semirubella is a Nationally Scarce species that lives on Bird's Foot Trefoil.
Ringing: 3 Wheatear, 1 House Sparrow
