Today’s change in the weather caused a noticeable change in
the birds as well. The majority of recent migrants had exited the island though
some interesting species remained to be seen, including a new male Black Redstart
at Nant, four Ring Ouzels on the Mountain, and the female Bullfinch at Nant.
Elsewhere 22 Fulmars, 649 Manx Shearwaters, 114 Gannets, five
Black-headed Gulls, and one Sandwich Tern were recorded in blustery sea
conditions. Inland one Sparrowhawk and one Merlin patrolled the island, one
Curlew and six White Wagtails fed on The Narrows, and an assortment of one
Collared Dove, 10 Swallows, 33 Wheatears, two Song Thrushes, one Grasshopper Warbler,
six Blackcaps, 29 Chiffchaffs, 40 Willow Warblers, seven Goldcrests, and 15 Goldfinches
were scattered across the island.
