Firecrest
Another beautiful day, sunny and warm with a feather-light onshore breeze; the highlight was once again the fine adult Rose-coloured Starling which spent a bit of time first thing out on the common in front of the Obs but it never stayed in one place for long and soon disappeared towards town.
Other birds comprised an unseasonal female Firecrest trapped and ringed first thing, 2 Black Redstarts, dispersing juvenile Greenfinch and Chaffinch (presumably from fairly local nest sites), 2 Common Terns, a Kittiwake, 2 Sandwich Terns, 12 Swallows south and a Swift.
Cream-spot Tiger - A beautiful and fairly regular guest in the moth traps
Ringing: 1 Chaffinch, 1 Firecrest, 1 Great Tit, 1 Greenfinch, 1 Linnet.
