Migrants are very slowly filtering through as we continue with similar weather systems throughout the week. North Easterlies! A noisy Ring-necked Parakeet raised a few eyebrows early in the day. The Linnets seemed to move in to the observatory today which kept the ringing room busy. They are now prospecting new nesting sites with some seen carrying material already.
A Rock Pipit spotted on the Reserve today. Other migrants today include 1 Chaffinch, 3 Chiffchaff, 5 Turnstone, 1 Sanderling, 5 Meadow Pipit, 1 Wheatear, 1 White Wagtail, 1 Oystercatcher, 8 Cormorant and 6 Brent Geese North.
Ringing: 2 Chiffchaff, 8 Linnet, 1 Long-tailed tit.
