A much calmer day today saw a few more migrants coming through. Not huge numbers but a definite influx of chiffchaffs, 2 marsh harriers heading south and even woodpigeons moving south.
A willow warbler sang sporadically in the compound, and one of the wheatears was still present on the point. The shelduck are staying stable at 8 birds, with a lot of displaying and posturing as they get closer to the breeding season. Linnets have come into the observatory grounds, laying claim to territory and fighting each other near constantly.
Ringed birds: Chiffchaffs 5, House Sparrow 1, Linnet 3, Redwing 1.
