A gusty and overcast morning as South Easterlies continue to turn up migrants in dribs and drabs. 2 Whimbrel dropped in early doors for an hour or so. Also 2 Black Redstarts still and up to 7 Wheatears around. There have been a couple new Song Thrush really belting it recently. Also 3 Chiffchaff, 1 Peregrine, 3 Med Gull, 2 Swallow and 1 Whitethroat.

At sea the first Tern of the year; a Common! Also 2 Brent Geese, 7 Common Scoter, 1 Dunlin, 1 Fulmar and 3 Gannet. 


In the trap this Brindled Pug - one of the earliest pugs on the wing. Failed to get one at all last year so here you go.

Ringing: 1 Chiffchaff
