A few decent birds today. Highlight being an adult male Red-Footed Falcon in the morning flying North offshore. Large amounts of gulls also on the sea today provided an opportunity for a little count. 340 Herring, 43 Black-headed, 2 Great Black-back, 8 Lesser Black-back and 13 Common. Also joined by a 12 feeding Common Tern - perhaps something was spawning? Also at sea 28 Dunlin North, 4 Sanderling and 3 Whimbrel. 

The female Ring Ouzel has been with us for a week now. Also of note today 1 Tree pipit along with Blackcap, Whitethroat, Chiffchaff and 1 Hobby. 


Chocolate-Tip today is a resident in small numbers here on the poplar trees.

Ringing: 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Linnet
