The weather was far more consistent today, there was a brief shower at around 0800 which put a stop to ringing. From then on it was sunny and cool all day, with a slight breeze from the southwest.

Ringing was quite productive in the morning to say how short the session was, Blackcaps made up the majority of the catch. 

Waders today included a Ringed Plover, Redshanks, Whimbrels, Turnstones, Curlews and the first Bar-tailed Godwit of the year was seen on Henllwyn which was a good bonus!

A flock of 30 Goldfinches descended on the garden in the late morning, other than this were one Siskin, three Chaffinches, 20 Linnets, one Lesser Redpoll. Hirundine passage is still yet to kick-off as once again a small amount passed over, two Sand Martins and only five Swallows were had today.

Birds today: eight Fulmars, two Gannets, one Sparrowhawk, one Ringed Plover, one Bar-tailed Godwit, three Whimbrels, two Curlews, seven Redshanks, 25 Turnstones, 155 Kittiwakes, two Sand Martins, five Swallows, 34 Meadow Pipits, one White Wagtail, six Wheatears, seven Blackcaps, three Chiffchaffs, three Chaffinches, 34 Goldfinches, three Siskins, 20 Linnets, one Lesser Redpoll.
