Monday 1 August 2022

 A calm day on the Island resulted in a large full of Willow Warblers with 90 logged including 36 trapped and ringed at Cristin. The calm seas resulted in good views of Risso's Dolphins off the West Coast in the morning. Other highlights included three Teals in Solfach (the first of the autumn) and 43 Redshanks (highest count of the year).
