It was another disappointing day bird-wise, with very little variety in terms of migrants species. Over 150
Wheatears were seen all over the coast in the morning, which then moved through the island during the rest of the day. A male
Common Redstart was seen in Traeth Ffynnon, two
Sandwich Terns fed off the West Side and two
Grasshopper Warblers were present. Smaller numbers of warblers included two
Whitethroats, five
Sedge Warblers, whilst 67 phylloscs comprised mostly of
Willow Warblers.

The Coal Tit from yesterday remained on the island, and found its way into the Heligoland Trap at Cristin mid-morning
Goldfinches continue to be in abundance on the island
