Ring Ouzel that has been here for the past five days is happy if one stays 50 yards away or it does a disappearing trick. Note the effect of the drought on the reserves vegetation.

Migrants today consisted of a couple of continental Robin passing through (the locals have now started collecting food for their chicks), 2 Chiffchaff, Wheatear, Willow Warbler plus at least 3 Whitethroat & 4 Lesser Whitethroat that look like they have settled in on site for the season. A total of 7 Swallow went north with the numbers noted so far this spring pathetic. Offshore northbound 10 Common Tern, 2 Whimbrel & a Sandwich Tern with southbound 3 Whimbrel. 2 Common Scoter were having a snooze offshore and on the beach early on 7 Sanderling plus an additional 4 Whimbrel.

Ringing: 2 Robin, 1 Chiffchaff.
