A real rarity this morning with some rain for a couple of hours which dampened the dust down and gave the botany, mosses & lichens a much needed drink. Increase in Wheatear to at least 13 plus the first Reed Warbler of the spring with a supporting cast of half a dozen Lesser's plus the territorial Whitethroats. A White Wag dropped in briefly and 8 Sanderling and a Whimbrel were on the beach.

Treble-bar are now coming to play. They live on St. John's-wort so can be common here.

Ringing: 2 Lesser Whitethroat, 1 Reed Warbler.
