Another quiet and windy day on the reserve. Most of the regulars were still accounted for, the local Cetti's warblers were still singing around the compound. A few birds were taking advantage of the strong winds to pass by. 19 house martin moved south along with 21 swallow, both species well down on previous years. Kittiwakes have been passing through almost daily recently with 6 heading south through the morning, presumably younger non-breeding birds.
Living on nettles the Snout should do well this year.
