Linnet
Another step backwards in the staggered progression of spring with a return to the very cold northerly airflow that we've enjoyed of late; there were few new migrants in the area but birds seen did include 4 Black Redstarts (a couple of new birds), 4 Chiffchaffs, 12 Common Scoter north, a Fulmar, 36 Gannets north, a Goldcrest, 38 Red-throated Divers, 6 Wheatears and a Willow Warbler.
Ringing: Song Thrush 1, Goldcrest 1, Wren 1, Linnet 1
Pine Beauty - As befits the name, a species from Pine trees which only gets down to the Obs a couple of times a year
