A goodly flock of 60 Sandwich, 12 Common, Arctic & Black Tern in the river then offshore to start the morning. Very little else on the move out to sea with landbirds southbound including 55 Swallow & 2 Sand Martin. Numbers of grounded migrants fairly pitiful with just a small handful of Willow Warbler, Whitethroat & Lesser 'throat. Finally a Black Red is still with us.

After the identification error on the blog ten days ago this is a Dusky Thorn that was caught yesterday.

Ringing: 2 Robin, 1 Whitethroat.
