A wet and windy day for the 5th July. Most of the regular birds were accounted for, including the three turnstone that have been semi resident since spring. 4 stock dove are still feeding out on the reserve, perhaps because of how lush the vegetation is this year, or perhaps the nest sites are closer this year.
2 whimbrel and a curlew flew south along with a single sandwich tern.
Dun-bar is a late summer species now appearing.
