A relatively quiet day, with more waders passing through, whimbrel, sanderling and turnstone. An odd movement was 8 rook south, as most breeding birds would be well into the nesting season now. Wheatear numbers increased to 14 and shelduck numbers to 19. A scattering of migrant warblers included 2 blackcap, 2 willow warbler and a lesser whitethroat, though the latter could well breed here this year. The black redstart was singing again on the fort, for most of the morning, finally giving reasonable views. A sandwich tern north was the first seen this year, previous records were call only.
Birds Ringed: Blackcap 1, Lesser Whitethroat 1, Wheatear 4, Willow Warbler 2.
