This Grey Heron flying past is wearing a ring.

Getting towards 'last knockings' as far as the bulk of spring migration is concerned although this mornings offerings include 2 Spot Fly, Chiffchaff, Reed Warbler & Wheatear. Heading south 9 Swallow, 3 House Martin & Swift plus offshore 12 Black-headed Gull, 9 Kittiwake, 4 Oyk, 4 Sandwich Tern, 2 Fulmar & Whimbrel. Another 267 Brent Geese headed to there breeding grounds in the far north of Asia. 2 Little Tern were offshore, Turnstone on the point & 4 Black Reds are still with us.

First Nutmeg of the season - the sort of fairly nondescript species that can put beginners off moth trapping.

Ringing: 1 Spotted Flycatcher
