We are never sure how many pairs of Dunnocks live here.

Wind back in the north-east with below average temperatures did not prevent a few more local Whitethroat coming back onto territory plus the first Lesser Whitethroat of the year. Other migrants include 7 Wheatear, Blackcap, Chiffchaff & Willow Warbler plus one of the regular Black Red's. Offshore movements poor included northbound 20 Black-headed Gull, 4 Common Tern, 2 Greenshank, 2 Whimbrel & Bar-tailed Godwit. 4 Turnstone were on the point plus the regular Sanderling on the beach.

Moth numbers still pathetic although the first Shuttle-shaped Dart are coming out to play.

Ringing: 2 Goldfinch, 2 Robin, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Linnet, 1 Willow Warbler.
