Our male Pheasant has become less vocal but has taken to posing on the Fort roof.
As expected, migrants were noticeable by there absence on another cool & damp morning. Single Gannet & Sandwich Tern went north & a Swallow was loitering late morning. The Black Red family were around the front of the Fort - if they alarm call at you please take the hint and move away as the adults are alarm calling at you for a reason (although the bulk of Joe Public won't even notice this behaviour). The second pair of Black Redstart have been absent in recent days although, hopefully, they are just inside the dock rather than collecting food on the reserve.
Several more micros from coniferous areas turned up again including Lozotaeniodes formosana.
Ringing: 4 Linnet, 2 Dunnock, 1 Great Tit, 1 Ringed Plover, 1 Wren.
