A new
arrival of 21 Spotted Flycatchers
seemed to be enjoying the great weather, as were the 51 House Martins, most of
which spent the day hawking over the Mountainside above Cristin. Warblers
numbers have started to drop as we reach the mid-summer lull where breeding
birds take over, though eight Sedge Warblers, three Whitethroats, one Blackcap,
and five Chiffchaffs could still be
found. An Arctic Skua was watched out at sea, no doubt
harrying the 140 Kittiwakes also
seen offshore today. More interesting migrants recorded include one Grey Heron, two Purple Sandpipers, two Collared Doves, two Sand Martins, 107 Swallows, one
Hooded Crow, one Siskin, and
six Lesser Redpolls.
