 A fairly calm day today, with a gentle east wind, gradually picking up over the morning. A few birds around, a flyover brambling, white wagtail and a flock of barnacle geese the most notable movement. A male reed bunting was also the first for a couple of days. 

Most of the recent regulars were still present, including 2 of the 3 firecrests, 3 purps at the point and the local ringed plovers and oystercatchers still being territorial. A young male sparrowhawk is also still hanging around, with a large female heading north midmorning. 

A bumblebee, peacock  butterfly and Hebrew Character moth were the only insects of note.

Ringing: 2 Chaffinch, 1 Blue Tit, 1 Great Tit, 1 Wren.
