House Sparrow
Brisk, cold northerly wind...check, clear skies...check, hardly any grounded migrants...check! Birds of note through the morning comprised 2 Black Redstarts, a Blackcap, a Chiffchaff, 8 Common Terns north, a Gannet north, 3 Mediterranean Gulls, a couple of new Robins, 2 Song Thrush, a Sparrowhawk, 5 Swallows, 7 Wheatears, a single Whimbrel north and at least 5 Whitethroats back on territory.
There were some dark clouds and even a couple of spots of rain in the afternoon which is undoubtedly the rarest event of the day!
Ringing: Song Thrush 1, Robin 2, Blackcap 1, Linnet 1
