A perfectly calm morning seemed to have brought a handful of migrating oddments to the island: a Tree Pipit was seen near the lime kiln in the morning, a Grey Wagtail flew over, a Common Kestrel was hunting over the lowlands and a single Common Starling was observed associating with a family of Common Stonechats. On the coast, three Grey Herons and two Whimbrels were with 14 Eurasian Curlews and four Common Redshanks.
A Dingy Footman caught in the moth trap in Cristin Withy was only the third ever seen on the island.
