The wet winter has left many puddles and marshy areas across the island, which played host to two Water Rails, five Snipes and a Jack Snipe today. Some Raptors were still lingering as well, including a Sparrowhawk, a Buzzard and a Merlin still hunting across the South End. More good news came in the evening with two Manx Shearwaters heard over the observatory, presumably the first returning individuals checking their nest sites.
In other news, the moth trap at Cristin attracted a total of eight Dark Swordgrass, an unusually high number considering the time of year. However, not a complete fluke since others reported the same occurrence.
