A bit of unsettled weather made for some interesting passage, the first little gull was seen going north and a female merlin headed south. Wheatear numbers have declined a lot, but this could be due to seeking shelter from the grim conditions. Yesterdays female ring ouzel was still present but, unsurprisingly for the species, elusive. 

A single jackdaw has been present on the reserve for the past two days. We suspect it may be a 'Nordic jackdaw' of the monedula subspecies. 

Birds Ringed: Chiffchaff 1.
