A warm and sunny day saw calm conditions encouraging a good selection of migrants to touch-down on the island. The scarcest sighting of the day in island terms was that of a
Green Sandpiper, which spent part of the day feeding on the pons in the wetlands. A good supporting cast of waders towards the coast included a
Black-tailed Godwit, one
Ringed Plover, two
Whimbrels, 10
Curlews, six
Redshanks, five
Common Sandpipers and 13
Turnstones.
Willow Warblers reached their highest numberyet this autumn, with a total of 26 scattered around with three
Sedge Warblers and three
Blackcaps.
