Pleasantly calm encouraged the spring arrival of 25 Chiffchaff, Black Red, Sand Martin (first of the season), Stonechat, Wheatear & Willow Warbler with departing winter visitors from the continent including single Brambling, Fieldfare, Robin & Songie. Overwintering Firecrest from last October still present. More wandering Long-tailed Tits turned up & a Skylark is still on the reserve.

Porpoise offshore, which are always easier to locate when its a calm sea.

Ringing: 16 Chiffchaff, 3 Long-tailed Tit, 1 Blackcap, 1 Robin, 1 Song Thrush, 1 Willow Warbler.
