Turnstone

 After a great deal of rain overnight it was understandably grey and a bit chilly first thing but it very gradually brightened up becoming sunny and warm once again by midday; two new Chiffchaffs in the nets were late migrants going who knows where at this time of year.   

Other birds comprised a Black Redstart, a flock of 90+ Common Scoter heading north on the horizon, a Common Tern, at least 16 Sandwich Terns broadly heading south, a Curlew, 3 Fulmars, 2 Mediterranean Gulls, a Reed Warbler, 11 Swallows, 11 Swifts, and 2 Turnstone.

Ringing: Chiffchaff 2, Robin 1, Linnet 1


Eyed Hawkmoth is one of those stunning looking species which only occasionally turns up here
