With another shift to a northerly the temperature and passage have dropped accordingly. Some willow warblers, whitethroats and blackcaps still trickling through, with the latter taking the opportunity to sing around the observatory all morning, nice to hear, even if they're unlikely to stay. Terns are continuing to pass with 3 Arctic's north and 3 common feeding offshore. Plenty of linnets carrying nesting material, through they're late to the party as blackbirds, starlings and house sparrows are feeding young already and our local blue tits are incubating currently. 


The Coronet is a species that was only noted for the first time in 2004, but has become an annual visitor since.

Birds Ringed: Blackcap 2, Goldfinch 1, Linnet 2, Whitethroat 1, Willow Warbler 2.
